Abstract
The United States, Mexico, and Canada have each made significant changes to their agricultural policies over the past several years. In the area of income supports, each country has instituted a countercyclical program that provides additional assistance to producers during downturns in commodity prices, and each continues to decouple key support programs from production decisions. In other areas, the reforms of the three countries have different points of emphasis. The United States has expanded spending on conservation activities, especially on lands in production; it has made important changes to peanut and tobacco programs; and it has implemented a new program that assists producers who are adversely affected by competition with imports. Mexico’s new efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of its agricultural sector include energy discounts for producers, and a revamped approach to agricultural finance. And Canada’s comprehensive evaluation of its farm programs is leading to new efforts concerning the environment, food safety and food quality, science, and the renewal of the agricultural sector.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
