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.

Midwest Weather Shock: Flash Drought Turns Into Heavy Rain Threat This Week (2026 Forecast)

Video: Midwest Weather Shock: Flash Drought Turns Into Heavy Rain Threat This Week (2026 Forecast)

A rapidly changing Midwest weather pattern is unfolding in 2026 as areas that recently slipped into abnormal dryness and flash drought conditions are now facing the threat of heavy rain and repeated storm systems.

After a wet spring erased early drought conditions, regions across Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and northern Missouri have quickly dried out again since mid-to-late May. Soil moisture is dropping fast, and crops like corn and soybeans are beginning to feel the stress of rising temperatures and lack of consistent rainfall. Now, weather models show a major shift.

A developing system moving in from the Northern Plains is expected to bring multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms, with the potential for locally heavy rainfall across the Midwest. While some areas may miss out, others could finally see much-needed relief from the growing dryness. In this video, we break down:
