Abstract
The agricultural and agri-food industry has a prevalent, long-standing history as a successful cornerstone industry in Ontario. This historical prevalence stands true for the central rural township of Brock, Ontario as agriculture and livestock are a driving force in the township’s economy. However, throughout the last three decades, agricultural production in Ontario’s rural townships have been negatively impacted by vertical integration, globalization, and the intensification of land-based activities (Wicks & Merrett, 2003). This research examines the role of agritourism a viable solution to revitalizing the rural township of Brock, Ontario. This study utilized in-depth interviews with individuals from the Beaverton Agricultural Society, the Sunderland Agricultural Society, or the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This research explores the motivations of farmers to diversify their farms through agritourism, how agritourism assists farming businesses, and strategies farmers use to implement agritourism into their current farming practices. This research is imperative for farm operators in rural Ontario and policymakers to ensure farms are able to remain economically competitive against the pressures of urbanization and changing global markets.

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
