Star Farmer Any FFA member receiving the state FFA degree in a given year with a production-based entrepreneurship SAE is eligible to apply for the Star in Farmer. This includes production of animals, crops, etc... Star in Agribusiness Any FFA member receiving the state FFA degree in a given year with an Entrepreneurship SAE in a non-production SAE is eligible to apply for the Star in Agribusiness.
