One Farmers' Almanac still surviving

 Axios - The publishing world was thrown for a loop today when the Farmers' Almanac announced it would be shutting down after more than 200 years of publication.

• The source of the confusion: There are two almanacs for farmers. The Farmers' Almanac — the one that's closing — and the Old Farmer's Almanac, which had to clarify today that it is still publishing.

They're both old. The Farmers' Almanac has been publishing since 1818, but the Old Farmer's Almanac has been in print since 1792.

• They're both based in New England: The older almanac is published in New Hampshire; its newer rival comes from Maine.

But if the term "farmer's almanac" conjures up for you a mental image of a book with an old-timey yellow cover, known for its long-term weather forecasts, you're probably thinking of the Old Farmer's Almanac — which isn't going anywhere.  Go deeper.
