The annual Farmer's Almanac, which provided readers with weather predictions and tips for cooking, gardening, and home medical remedies, will cease publication in 2026 and its website will shut down in December of that year. The Hill reports that this icon of Americana was first published in 1818. It has financially struggled for years and is no longer a viable enterprise.
NiemanLab notes that the Farmer's Almanac is distinct from the Old Farmer's Almanac, which appears in calendar format and provides weather predictions. That publication, which first appeared in 1792, will continue to provide people with occasionally accurate weather forecasts.

My father was a master beekeeper and grew flowers and edible plants on his 1 acre for his bees to polinate. He always had his yearly Farmer's Almanac in his home and planted his seeds according to the info inside his Almanac.
