All of it: the words, the place, the proof

How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- The affected planting(s), viewed in daylight
- A phone camera for whole-plant, close-up, and both-leaf-side photos
- A clean bag/container and labels if a physical sample will be shipped
- The state's NPDN-member diagnostic clinic contact info (npdn.org lab directory)
Steps
- 1. Walk the planting and note every affected plant, its species/variety if known, and the pattern of affected plants (isolated, spreading from one point, whole row/bed).
- 2. Record SYMPTOMS observed on the plant itself: leaf-spot shape/color/margin, wilting pattern, cankers, galls, chlorosis, stunting, dieback.
- 3. Record SIGNS observed — actual physical evidence of the causal organism: fungal fruiting bodies/mycelium, bacterial ooze, insect life stages/eggs/frass, mite webbing — kept explicitly separate from the symptom list.
- 4. Photograph per clinic guidance: whole plant/planting, a close-up of a representative symptom, both sides of an affected leaf, and a healthy-tissue comparison shot.
- 5. If a specific reportable pest or disease is suspected (see decision rules), report to the state department of agriculture THE SAME DAY before doing anything else.
- 6. For a non-reportable but uncertain case, submit a physical sample (fresh, double-bagged, kept cool) or the photo set to a named NPDN-member state clinic per its current submission instructions; record the clinic name and submission date.
- 7. Record the clinic's or state ag department's response when it returns; route any recommended action to the appropriate professional (licensed applicator, arborist, extension agent) rather than acting on it directly.
What counts as done
- Every affected plant/area scouted with symptom pattern recorded (leaf-spot shape/color, wilt pattern, canker, gall, chlorosis) and any observed sign (fruiting bodies, ooze, insect life stages) explicitly separated from the symptom list
- Photos taken matching the receiving clinic's stated submission guidance (whole plant, close-up, both leaf sides, healthy-tissue comparison)
- Sample or photo set submitted to a named NPDN-member state clinic (npdn.org lab directory), with the clinic name and submission date recorded
- Any reportable pest/disease sign reported the same day it was found, with the state department of agriculture (or USDA APHIS route) named
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1790292633601_ylwr2u7","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
