The Farmers Almanac will cease publication after 208 years, marking the end of an era for weather forecasting and gardening enthusiasts amid rising production costs.
- Farmers Almanac announced on Thursday that its 2026 edition will be its final release, concluding a long history of providing weather forecasting and gardening advice.
- Founded in New Hampshire, the Farmers Almanac has been a trusted resource for agriculture and gardening, including insights on lunar phase and seasonal changes.
- The publications decision comes in part due to financial challenges, a trend affecting many traditional print media, including its competitor, the Old Farmers Almanac.
Why It Matters
The discontinuation of the Farmers Almanac highlights the broader decline of print publications in the digital age, impacting communities reliant on traditional weather forecasting and gardening resources. This shift may also affect how future generations engage with agriculture and nature.
