Sad news indeed. I’ve always purchased a copy and found it a great resource for gardening as well as just interesting reading.

[GranTorino]

Dang it!

This is the Farmers’ Almanac, not the more familiar Old Farmer’s Almanac.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone bought the rights and resumed publication on an updated financial model.

[stars & stripes forever]

At the end of the article it said the Old Farmers Almanac is still being published.

[fwdude]

I read that and was confused. Apparently, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is the new version, not the original.

Did you? This is the publication from Maine which has copied the Old Farmer’s Almanac for hundreds of years.

Old Farmer’s Almanac will continue to publish, as it has for 233 years, and the longest running periodical in the United States.

Got it reversed.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac began Publication on 1792.
The Farmer’s Almanac started in 1818.
I’ve always used the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

“Apparently, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is the new version, not the original.”

The Old Farmers’s Almanac is the older, original version.

I remember as a youth, I'd consult the Farmer's Almanac to see what days were good for catching fish and which days were not.

Even for days when the Almanac predicted good fishing, I caught nothing.

[crusty old prospector]

I went fishing on those days, too.

[Dan in Wichita]

Hope you had better luck than me!

In my 65 years of living in Maine and NY I had no idea there were two separate Farmer’s Almanacs.

[Allegra]

Wow.

My parents used to get it every year when I was growing up. Even when we were stationed overseas.

[Bon of Babble]

It's the OTHER Farmer's Almanac - not the original one:

The original will still be published.

Even for days when the Almanac predicted good fishing, I caught nothing.

Maybe you just weren't a very good fisherman. LOL

[Dan in Wichita]

Explains why I didn’t catch many fish, lol.
