Smoking the bacons

11/09/2025

The end of an era.
After 208 years, the Farmers’ Almanac has officially published its final edition.

For generations, farmers, gardeners, old-timers, and “I can tell a storm’s coming by my knee” folks have used it to predict the weather, planting seasons, fishing days, and just about everything in between.

Their 2026 edition is already out — and it will be the last one ever.
Even their online access is shutting down next month due to rising costs and the mess of today’s media world.

Whether you trusted it… or just argued with it… it’s hard to deny it was a piece of American tradition.
