Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective of this study is to examine factors affecting the use of three government administered risk management programs: forage index insurance, crop insurance, and AgriStability. Survey data is from 87 beef and forage producers in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and probit regression models are used for the analysis. Results indicate that producers’ who use more forage index insurance are younger, maintain less forage inventory, have greater perceived weather risk, and have higher levels of insurance knowledge. Results suggest that producers who use more crop insurance have a higher proportion of rented farmland, a smaller share of off-farm household income, and higher levels of insurance knowledge. Lastly, producers that use the AgriStability program more have larger farms, smaller households, have experienced a large previous farm loss, and have purchased forage insurance regularly in the past. This analysis should provide policy makers with useful information regarding forage producers’ risk management decisions.

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.
