=Goals of Fermilab Seed Rate Study=
 * In this study we will evaluate the impact of seed mix weight on native plant diversity when restoring tallgrass prairie on clay silt-loam soils in Illinois. This experiment will be compared to a 2008 study at The Nature Conservancy’s Nachusa Grasslands conducted on sandy soils.
 * If the succession rate,high diversity and reduced exotic encroachment, of a clay loam prairie then the prairie plot with the highest seed weight will have the highest success rate.
