SAE Idea for Aspiring Farmers
It's not enough that Hunter Petersen works on a farm when he's not in school, but he raises his own crops in a partnership with his brother and cousin for his SAE. He choose sugar beets as his crop but doesn't leave the heavy lifting for just his family to do. Hunter helps prep for planting, topping the beats in prep for harvest, and drives the trucks. He might not do it all yet, but he has to start somewhere. There's no better way to teach maturity than to assign responsibility to a student and entrust a them with real duties that will make or break a true farm business.

That mountain you've been carrying
Recently (especially since that Year-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named), I feel that it has gotten worse.
Now I see so many Ag teachers not just struggling to climb that mountain…
But trying to carry it.
And many of y’all are starting to break under the load.
This is your permission to set it down.
