Farmers' Almanac is an annual North Yank periodical that has been in continuous publication since 1818. Printed by the Almanac Publishing Company, of Lewiston, Maine, it's famous for its long-range weather predictions and astronomical data, as well as its trademark mix of humor, trivia, and advice on gardening, cooking, fishing, and human-interest crusades. Conservation, sustainable living, and simplicity are core values of the publication and its editors, and these themes are heavily promoted in every edition.
Additionally to the popular Yank version, the Almanac Publishing Company also publishes the Canadian Farmers' Almanac and a promotional version that companies will personalize and distribute to customers. The whole annual distribution of all Farmers' Almanac editions is additional than 4 million copies.
The Farmers’ Almanac was founded in Morristown, New Jersey in 1818 by editor David Young and publisher Jacob Mann; this was, coincidentally, 2 years following the "year without a summer" that was an ecological disaster for farmers in northeastern America. Astronomer Samuel Hart Wright succeeded Young in 1851. Over the years, the Farmers’ Almanac has had seven editors.
Weather prediction has invariably been a serious feature of the Farmers' Almanac. The Almanac Publishing Company claims readers of the Farmers’ Almanac have attributed an 80 to eighty five percent accuracy rate to the publication’s annual forecasts.
