Not to be confused with Old Farmer's Almanac (est. 1792) and yet sad to see a 200 years old periodical closing up shop.

This is the one my mind went to, mostly because that cover is so familiar. Granted, I never invested much time in either but was always glad they existed.

the old farmers almanac is the one people are probably more familiar with

Interesting, I appreciate how they gave no reasons, I’m also curious if there is more details beyond “we don’t want to anymore”

Would be pretty cool if it was that simple, that reason needs more representation and is how I run my entrepreneurial endeavors

Tis a bit curious R.I.P.

The original editor hasn't wanted to anymore since he died in 01852, 173 years ago, so that's not it. Surely what is happening is that people don't buy reference books much anymore, and the core market of farmers gets smaller every year.

That's some serious forward thinking you've got going on with your date format there. I like it, I will be formatting all my years to 5 digits from now on.

OTOH, if it was just a typo - keep it to yourself, I don't wanna know. I'm all in - 5 digit years is a thing now.

You might find your crowd among the Long Now Foundation, they love their 5-digit years.

I think this is from the Old Farmer's Almanac

I skim both almanac products each year. Both have helpful little home tips and quite a bit of gardening advice. Sad to see them go.

This press release has a bit more explanation:

> This decision, though difficult, reflects the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today’s chaotic media environment.

They had a good run.
