Celebrating 60 Years of Suffield Agriculture Education!

From humble beginnings in 1966 with just 52 members, the Suffield Agriculture Education program has spent the last 60 years cultivating more than just crops—we’ve been cultivating leaders. Today, our program has grown to 172 students, each exploring vital pathways in Animal Science, Plant Science, Mechanics, Natural Resources, Food Science, and Ag-Business.

Through the FFA and Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE), thousands of graduates have walked through our doors, gaining the premier leadership and personal growth necessary for success in any career path.
