Jared Crain was just selected to receive a Wentz Research Project for the 2008-2009 academic year! 

The Lew Wentz Foundation and OSU provide support for the nationally recognized Wentz Research Project awards.  This is a one-year research project award ($4,500) given to undergraduate student scholars to conduct independent research with the guidance of a faculty mentor.

Jared will be working with Drs. Hattey and Redfearn on a project to compare and contrast the quantity of soil carbon at sites with conventional tillage (or those converted to reduced tillage) to sites with native vegetation, in an effort to determine the potential for Oklahoma soils to store or release CO2 into the atmosphere.
