In a record-setting day, the Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Grant committee of the Wisconsin FFA Foundation awarded over $31,000 in grants to Wisconsin FFA members.
Forty-eight members from 30 chapters will receive $31,492 to either start or advance their SAE projects, and several of them are in Northeastern Wisconsin. Landon Holewinski of the Pulaski FFA and Chloe La Crosse of the Southern Door FFA received Dairy SAE Grants, while Emily Skala also of the Pulaski FFA got a Livestock Grant, and Julie Koeppel of the Mishicot FFA was awarded a Start-Up Grant.
Candidates were chosen based on the level and scope of their SAE project, as well as their age, financial need, and future plans for their individual projects.
