| I know, procrastination gets you no where in life, but me and my project partner have a project due on the 19th, we have had the entire Semester to do one, and well, this is where we are at.
SAE is supervised Agriculture Experience, and we have to make a project that will benefit our teacher or FFA in some way. (Our teacher hates horses, so pretty much every idea I have is not good.) Another problem, we are both girls who have never built anything in our entire lives. We know how to weld, somewhat decently, but thats it. We are both Seniors in High School.
So what are some ideas that are pretty easy to do, that doesn't require a whole lot of skills, since we have none and have a total of 2 weeks to make something up.
Thanks in advanced. I don't care how stupid the idea sounds, just post whatever sounds easy and fits the bill. Pinterest is way too complicated with ideas, but really creative. |

| If you have any type of county conservation areas close by, you can contact them and interview a naturalist/resource officer/conservationist. It would meet the Career Area of Natural Resource Systems. You could possibly even volunteer if they have a HQ office or some sort of wildlife rehab program. This is easy and can definitely be thrown together in 2 weeks. |

Is there something you could do that would work to promote your FFA chapter during National FFA Week in a couple months? Signs, posters, promotional materials like press releases or media kits? Those things might be able to fit into a proficiency award area even - Ag Ed or Ag Comm perhaps. |

Location: ND--it snows, it floods, it snows, it floods | Please expand more on what you are looking for exactly. Is it interviewing professionals or what? For local resources talk to your local Extension office or FSA/NRCS or even local agronomy locations. |

Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | Go to some of your local ag businesses and ask some of the younger employees that are out of college by a few years and ask them what they did for theirs or get some ideas of what you could do. You could even ask some of the local kids that graduated a couple of years ahead of you for ideas. Now that they have done it once they might have some good ideas. |

One that stuck out to me was the yard ornaments/decorations. If y'all are creative/crafty this time of the year is prime for something like that. Maybe find plywood that is being discarded that can be recycled. Going with Christmas you could talk with local Christmas tree farms or even stands and see if you can get scraps from them for wreaths and garland. Sell the decorations as a benefit/fund raiser for FFA. I don't know if it would work but people also pay decent to have their Christmas lights hung by a third party. If y'all are any good at that then use the money raised again as funds toward FFA. |

| It can be research based as well I think? Send a sample of your hay, to the sate lab for nutrient testing. Write a paper about if it needs supplemented or not. |
