Event Summary

The Farmers Almanac, a publication known for its long-range weather forecasts and practical advice, announced that its 2026 edition will be its last, ceasing publication after 208 years. Editor Sandi Duncan cited mounting financial pressures and the challenges of operating in a 'chaotic media environment' as reasons for the decision. The publication's online presence will also conclude in December 2025. The Farmers Almanac, distinct from the Old Farmer s Almanac, has historically used a 'secret formula' involving sunspots, planetary positions, and lunar cycles for its predictions. The Old Farmer s Almanac has clarified that it will continue to publish. This event marks the end of a long-standing tradition for many readers in the United States and North America.
