Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Midwest pork production has changed dramatically in the past ten years and continues to evolve. This traditional home of US hog production had the most to lose and was perhaps the slowest to change because of its long-standing dominance and culture. Part way through the 1990s, production companies began to apply emerging production technologies used in other regions in the Midwest. All states in the region lost breeding herd numbers, but Iowa and Minnesota increased the number of market hogs. The eastern part of the region experienced a greater loss of hogs and farms than did the western states evaluated. At least a portion of the difference in inventory changes is due to existence of large-scale producers in the state. Marketing methods also changed dramatically. While still the prominent place of price discovery, trading several thousand hogs a day, the percent of hogs negotiated in the daily market stands at less than 20 percent.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
