In a recent message, editors Sandi Duncan and Peter Geiger expressed deep appreciation to generations of readers who have relied on the Almanac’s distinctive mix of “weather, wit, and wisdom” since its founding in 1818. The 2026 edition, its 208th issue, will be the publication’s final issue. For countless households, the ***Farmers’ Almanac*** was a trusted companion on the kitchen counter or in the barn, offering planting guides based on Moon phases, best days for everyday tasks, and homespun advice that blended practicality with tradition. In their farewell letter, the editors thanked readers, contributors, and partners for more than 200 years of loyalty, adding that while the Almanac will cease both print and online publication at the end of 2025, its spirit will continue wherever people keep its lessons alive. “Plant your peas when the daffodils bloom,” they wrote. “Watch for a red sky at night. Tell the kids how granddad always swore by the Almanac.” The 2026* Farmers’ Almanac* is available through December at [**FarmersAlmanac.com,**](https://www.farmersalmanac.com/for-the-media) Amazon, and select local retailers. Subscribers have been notified about their membership, and the website will remain active until the end of the year. In the wake of the announcement, the editors of ***The Old Farmer’s Almanac***, a separate and older publication founded in 1792, clarified that they will continue publishing. They acknowledged the confusion that has long existed between the two similarly named editions, reassuring readers that The Old Farmer’s Almanac, with its familiar yellow cover and long-standing reputation for 80 percent accurate weather forecasting, will remain in print and online. ![The Old Farmers Almanac 2025](https://air.certifiedagdealer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Old%20Farmers%20Almanac%202025.jpg?width=284&height=427&name=The%20Old%20Farmers%20Almanac%202025.jpg) “As sure as the Sun will rise,” they said, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac will be around for generations to come.” **To our Friends and Fans: ** You may have heard The Farmers’ Almanac, based out of Lewiston, ME, is ceasing publication after an incredible 200+ year run. Over the years, there has been some confusion between our two almanacs, so to be clear: The OLD Farmer's Almanac isn’t going anywhere. We will continue to publish our annual edition, while educating and entertaining readers online at Almanac.com. Thank you for being a reader, Your Friends at The **Old** Farmer’s Almanac EDITOR’S TAKE: Just about everyone over the age of 18 has at one time or another heard of or even read a copy of The Farmers’ Almanac. It is sad to think that this long-running publication will no longer be with us. More amusing than accurate, people were always curious to read what they had to say about the weather in the year ahead and under what phase of the moon to plant corn or daffodils. That said, the good news is, The OLD Farmer’s Almanac will still be around with their own predictions and tales of what it is like down on the farm. They have an even longer track record. Maybe you can purchase a copy and show it to your children or grandchildren. What are your traditions? What is your dealership known for by members of the community? We always encourage our CAD members to let farmers and ranchers know about your membership and the tremendous programs it helps you bring to them. Where else can they find sales, parts and service staff actually trained in agriculture? What about the AGwagon that was designed *by* farmers/ranchers *for *farmers/ranchers. It is truly unique and special – and sets you apart from the competition.
