A publication which has been around for 226 years obviously has enduring appeal which is why the Old Farmer’s Almanac seems to stand the test of time.
The 2018 edition features articles on such topics as gardening, farming, history and nature.
Managing editor Jack Burnett says even in this digital age, many readers say they want a hard copy edition.
“So everybody decries the likelihood of printed material. Yet what we find all across North America is that people still like to have something they can hold in their hand and look at,” he notes.
Citing an 80 percent accuracy rate and using a variety of old methods which have been turned into computer models, the Old Farmer’s Almanac is also forecasting a mild and wet winter for most of Atlantic Canada.
