Are you interested in helping to shape the future of the agricultural industry? A career in agricultural education may be right for you. After all, educators help to provide the foundation for all of the careers on this site! Agricultural educators prepare students to be successful in their professions and offer a lifetime of informed choices in global agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources systems.

Careers in agricultural education develop engaged citizens who understand the importance of the agricultural industry to our world, while teaching them technical skills in all areas of agriculture. In addition to secondary and postsecondary education, educators can work in public service for private or public divisions as specialists in education outreach and curriculum development. Agricultural education programs develop student potential for leadership, personal growth and career success through investigations in science, math, history, technology and legislation related to agriculture.

SAE Idea Cards

I decided to become an Agricultural Education teacher because this was such a huge part of my life that I wasn’t willing to give up.
I’m agriculture teacher and FFA advisor because I want to give back to other kids the opportunities I had.
My ag. teachers were a huge part of my high school career and I want to be that for students one day.
During high school I was on track to become a small animal veterinarian, but was then exposed to large animals on our school farm and became so passionate about the agriculture industry that I chose to change my focus, changing my future college major to animal science in the process. After receiving my American Degree I had the realization that I was not ready to leave the world of agriculture education. I had learned so much about leadership, relationship building, and myself that I wanted to be able to pass that knowledge to the next generation and help them become passionate about an industry that I will never stop advocating for. Within a week of receiving my American Degree at the 2019 National Convention and Expo, I changed my career path and I am now teaching agriculture.
