Farmers seem similar to low-tech, small biz owners in this regard
QT:{{”
But right now the industry is in the midst of what some are calling the fourth agricultural revolution, as driverless tractors trundle through fields, drones map moisture levels in soil and cows are outfitted with Fitbit-like devices that track their eating patterns. ….
But the farmers I spoke with hope that embracing new tech will help them face big challenges in the industry. In particular, they’ve found it more difficult in recent years to find enough workers, and on family-run operations, fewer kids are sticking around to take over the business. It’s still hard to say how exactly the age of A.I. will reshape agriculture. But for now, these farmers are figuring out new ways to use technology to transform their daily work.

The season typically begins in early April, peaks heavily between mid-April and mid-May, and subsides completely by late May. Sycamore trees produce pollen before and during the emergence of their leaves. [1, 2, 3]
Seasonal Timeline
January – March: Bare, dormant. Pollen levels remain at zero. Early April: The season opens. Mild to moderate pollen release as catkins and flowers open.
Mid-April to Early May: Peak Season. Pollen counts spike to “High” levels, often coinciding with oak, birch, and ash pollens.
Late May: The pollination cycle concludes. The sycamore tree becomes lush with leaves, and local pollen levels drop to zero. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Similar behavior for birch
New Haven – Airmine

QT{{” New Haven’s parks, including East Rock Park and the Mill River corridor, feature oak, birch, and maple as the main tree pollen sources, with exposure varying between these green areas and the more built-up city centre. Surrounding Connecticut woodland and farmland contribute substantial tree and grass pollen, while the coastal position on Long Island Sound means onshore winds can periodically disperse urban pollen. “}}
