""It is with a great appreciation and heartfelt emotions that we write to share some sad news," "After more than 200 years of sharing a unique blend of weather, wit and wisdom, we've made the very difficult decision to write the final chapter of this historical publication." "Per the post, readers will be able to access the Farmers' Almanac website until December, and they can find the last edition of the magazine on its website, Amazon, and in certain local stores. The shuttering of this legacy publication is yet another blow to a beleaguered print media landscape.""
""The Farmers' Almanac was first founded by Jacob Young, a poet, astronomer, and teacher who ran the publication for 34 years. Its long-range weather predictions, which have been trusted by some American farmers over other forecasts for decades (despite the publication being notoriously cagey about how it devises said predictions), predate the creation of the National Weather Service by more than 50 years.""
The Farmers' Almanac announced that the 2026 edition will be its final print issue, ending a 207-year publication history. Readers can access the Almanac website until December and obtain the last edition via the Almanac site, Amazon, and select local stores. The Almanac was founded in 1818 by Jacob Young, a poet, astronomer, and teacher, and predates the National Weather Service by over 50 years. The publication became known for its long-range weather predictions and its "Best Days" section offering timing advice for gardening, fishing, pest control, and personal tasks. The closure reflects ongoing struggles in the print media industry.
