Abstract
objective of this case study is to document the evolution of the Canadian oat market under the open market system. This report discusses the structural changes that have occurred over the past 15 years in oat production and commerce. An analysis of the performance of the Canadian oat market is completed using industry interviews, previous studies and quantitative analyses. Many industry experts agree that the removal of oats from the CWB mandate was a good decision. Since 1989, the open market has contributed to many positive developments in the Canadian oat industry. Some of these developments include: increased exports of oat grain and oat products, increased market share in the US milling market, increased primary processing, and improved financial viability of oats for western Canadian producers. These developments were not the result of deregulation alone. Other structural changes that have influenced the Canadian oat industry include: the removal of the Western Grain Transportation Act, the introduction of the Canada-United States Trade Agreement and North American Free Trade Agreement, the oat bran craze, the decline in US oat production and the advances in oat germ plasm and further processing. The oat market that

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
