After more than two centuries in print, the Farmers’ Almanac will end its run with its 2026 edition.

Known for long-term weather predictions, moon phases, fishing and gardening guides and folk wisdom, the publication expressed pride in its 208-year legacy.

In a statement to ABC News, editor Sandi Duncan said the publication will "live on in the way that millions of readers share the bits of wit and wisdom they gleaned from the Almanac."

Well, the "Old Farmer's Almanac" (classic yellow cover) is still around at least for now--since 1792 hlthe2b Friday #2

Whatever remains of Farmers' Almanac is probably AI generated nowadays. Probably about as accurate as old one. Silent Type Friday #3

so, for now, we have that still:

I know, I know.. Most of the youngsters don't give a damn about anything in print. Sad, but true. Still, maybe it will outlive me.
