The Mount Ayr Agriculture Education program consists of Class Instruction, SAE Member Projects, and FFA. The instruction components of Crop Production and Livestock Production compliment the Ag program offered at SWCC and prepare for post secondary coursework. The FFA Chapter works with many community groups and service projects each year as part of a state approved Program of Activities. In addition to community involvement, FFA and SAE projects continue to develop future leaders through a variety of district and state contests.
