**Farmers’ Almanac to Publish Final Edition in 2026**
*By Matt Durr | Nov 7, 2025*

After more than two centuries of publication, the *Farmers’ Almanac* will release its final edition in 2026, according to the Associated Press. The Maine-based publication, which first printed its annual edition in 1818, announced the decision on Thursday.

“It is with a heavy heart,” Editor Sandi Duncan said in a statement, “that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future.”

Publishers cited ongoing financial difficulties related to producing and distributing the almanac in today’s “chaotic media environment” as the primary reason for its closure. The online version of the *Farmers’ Almanac* is set to cease next month.

**KarlInOhio:**
To clarify, this announcement concerns the *Farmers’ Almanac*, not the more familiar *Old Farmer’s Almanac*. (I pray that the sleeping giant has finally awakened and been filled with a terrible resolve.)

**9YearLurker:**
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone bought the rights and resumed publication with an updated financial model.

**stars & stripes forever:**
At the end of the article, it said the *Old Farmers Almanac* is still being published.
