SAE-Jacob Glouse

During the summer of 2009, Jacob Glouse and his brother Parker, raised 400 hardy mums as a Supervised Agriculture Experience Project. These mums consisted of eight different colors with 50 plants of each color.

In the month of September, the Walnut Grove FFA purchased the mums at wholesale price and students sold the mums as a fundraiser to pay for national FFA convention. This turned out to be a great project for both Jacob and the chapter.

In February, Jacob received 3rd place in Nursery Operations Proficiency for Area 10 FFA. Jacob and Parker plan to expand their operation next summer by adding an automatic watering system.
