Agriscience Fair

The Agriscience Fair (Agriscience Research SAE) program provides opportunities for experiential learning in a specific subject matter. Ohio operates on a pre-qualifying system, similar to the National process. There will be significant changes to the National FFA Agriscience Fair process for 2025. Please refer to the Agriscience Research Handbook for additional information.

Report Pre-Qualifying – Reports due electronically by 6:00 pm on March 7, 2025
Using the AET Application Center, students must use the “Complete/Print Your App” screen to generate the PDF with a version number for the teacher to select and submit to state evaluation (see the resource guide for more information or reach out to Jena Kemmerer).

    • The Top 4 projects with a minimum score of 45 points from each category/division will be interviewed to determine final placings
    • The finalists in each division will be posted March 18, 2025 – Top 4 Finalists Interview Schedule
    • National will require their report template be used (NOT required for Ohio, with the understanding that this report will have to be edited if a state winner). Report template(s) found here: https://www.ffa.org/participate/awards/agriscience-fair
