Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Who works on Mexican farms? This question is difficult to answer due to incomplete data and an agricultural system that includes both modern farms that export most of what they produce and subsistence farms that barely feed farm families. Up 25,000 Mexican farms employ about 750,000 workers to produce fruits and vegetables that are exported mostly to the United States. These export farms resemble modern farms in Canada and the United States, with college-educated and English-speaking managers who are attuned to food safety requirements in foreign markets. Export farms hire local residents with little education as well as internal migrants, many of whom are from Mexico’s poorer southern states. As periods of employment lengthen in export agriculture, more southern Mexicans are settling near their places of employment in northern Mexico.

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.
