Farmers plus their 35 Animals pull up roots to go from Yukon to New Brunswick in 80 days

It may not have been exactly 80 days for this adventure but relating it to Around the World in Eighty Days seems somehow right.

Gemma Pearse and Jeremy Duplessis moved their entire life including assorted furred and feathered livestock in an action packed drive from Dawson City, Yukon to Cornhill, New Brunswick and lived to tell the tale to Small Farm Canada contributor Matt Jones.

Matt tells the story of Gemma and Jeremy’s cross-country journey, the obstacles encountered and the happy ending in the January-February 2023 issue of Small Farm Canada.

Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

Video: Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

This webinar will explore the emerging connection between blackleg and verticillium stripe in canola, two diseases increasingly shaping yield risk across the Prairies. Presented by Ian Epp of Sask Oilseeds, the session will unpack current research and field observations that highlight how blackleg infection may influence the development and severity of verticillium stripe later in the season.

You will gain insight into disease biology, environmental drivers, and the role of variety selection, rotation, and management decisions in reducing overall disease pressure. The webinar will also connect the dots between early-season disease management and long-term risk, helping growers and agronomists better anticipate challenges and adapt strategies for more resilient canola production.
