Global Neighbor (GNI) Was Awarded a Phase 1 to Develop a Design That Makes Weed Seeds Collected by a Combine at Harvest Non-viable, Saving the Farmer Money and Reducing Environmental Impact. the Work Plan Was to Start With the Technique Developed Under a Dod Sbir That Made Tumble Weed Seeds Non-viable, Alter That Recipe, and Engineer a Solution to Go on a Combine. Our Successful Completion of Phase 1 Showed Our Solution Will Make Greater Than 95% of Common Weed Seeds Non-viable.the Growing Number of Herbicide Resistant Weeds and the Shrinking Chemical Weed Control Options Are Alarming Farmers, Seed Companies, Herbicide Manufacturers and Government Regulators Across the Globe. This Growing Problem Has Critical Implications for Agriculture, the Environment and USDA'S Goal to Encourage Regenerative Farming Practices.for Our Phase 2 Proposal, We Would Construct and Field the Prototype Designed in Phase 1, Debug That Design and Make Adjustments, and Then Design and Field the Weed Seed Destroyer (WDSD) Product That We Start Selling at the Conclusion of Phase 2. With Professional Investors Poised to Make an Investment in Gni After Being De-risked by the Usda Phase 2 Award, We Will Swiftly Introduce the WDSD Helping Farmers to Realize Improved Profitability and Decreasing the Threat of New Herbicide Resistance Evolving. GNI'S Phase 2 Proposal Transforms Our Earlier Scientific Discovery of Making Tumble Weeds Seeds Non-viable Into a Product That We Have Validated Has Large Commercial Potential, With the Added Environmental Benefit of Reduced Herbicide Usage to Grow AMERICA'S Row Crops.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
