After 208 years, the Farmers’ Almanac is ceasing operation.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future,” Editor Sandi Duncan said in a Nov. 6 press release.
The 2026 almanac, available now, will be the final edition of the seasonal weather guide.
And access to archived digital content will discontinue in December.
One article about weaning calves by the moon related to the almanac is a popular choice for Farms.com readers.
The first edition of the almanac came out in 1818, the same year Illinois became the 21st U.S. state, and Paul Revere died.
