The season
The calendar is the product.
The operation runs on the almond year: four phases, one window that does not move. Install in the dormant winter, prove out when harvest opens. Book against the calendar, not around it.

02 · Four phases
01 · FEB–MAR
Bloom
The orchard flowers.
The year's one answer starts here.
02 · APR–JUL
Growing
Canopy closes. Fruit sizes.
GPS dies under the canopy. Variation compounds row by row.
03 · AUG–OCT
Harvest
The window
Shake, sweep, haul, hull, sort.
The window does not move. The plant runs hardest.
04 · NOV–JAN
Dormant
Install season
Pruning.
The install window. Rig in winter, run at bloom, prove at harvest.
03 · What runs when
What a machine learns here carries to the next site — construction, mining, ports.
04 · Walk the ground
See the ground before you plan a season on it.
An hour from San Francisco. Walk the rows, stand on the plant floor, watch a shift run. Bring the team or bring the machine.
