A few weeks ago Stace and I was talking about how the seasons are changing. He said according to both almanacs we are going to have a mild winter.
Stop...what there is two Almanacs? I had not idea. So I did some digging and sure enough Stace was right. "Yes, I'm saying Stace was right". I found some interesting facts about the Almanac. I want to share with you what I found.
TWO FARMERS ALMANACS?
You can recognize The Old Farmer’s Almanac by the yellow cover and the large red digits in the center indicating the year of publication. The cover is essentially unchanged since the 1850s.
When this Almanac was first published by Robert B. Thomas in Massachusetts in 1792, there were other almanacs—there always have been a few farmer’s almanacs published. Most were regional publications, selling in local areas and reporting on local items (court dates, rates of postage, distance between towns, and the like).
When this Almanac was founded, we had an agrarian society; that is, everyone grew their own food (there were no groceries as well stocked as we have today). People needed and looked for advice on maintaining farms and fields, planting, tending, and harvesting as well as, weather. Astronomy was long an interest of people of that day (they had no TVs or radio to amuse themselves in the evenings); they wanted to know the time of the sun rise and set, the Moon phases, when high tide would be, and the like. They wanted recipes for their garden produce, as were general interest news and amusing stories—all of which were found in our Almanac.
Other almanacs provided similar information—and still do. But ours provided information that was “new, useful, and entertaining” and so survived to become the oldest continuously published periodical in North America. In the 1848, it officially became the OLD Farmer’s Almanac.
What is the difference between the Farmer’s Almanac and Old Farmer’s Almanac?
Let’s start with the original, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac”… You see, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” follows a “secret formula” that takes into consideration solar science, climatology, and meteorology. Conversely, “The Farmer’s Almanac,” uses an astronomical and mathematical formula developed in 1818 for its predictions.
Which Farmers almanac is more accurate?
The Old Farmer’s Almanac had a mild and wet winter forecast. The winter had temps a little above average. The Farmers’ Almanac has these dramatic headlines each winter and The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s headline are more mundane, but much more accurate.
How do farmers almanacs work?
The Farmers’ Almanac will only state publicly that their method is an “exclusive mathematical and astronomical formula, that relies on sunspot activity, tidal action, planetary position (astrology) and many other factors”. The Almanac’s forecaster is referred to by the pseudonym Caleb Weather bee.
Which Farmers almanac is better?
Both books claim to have secret formulas for predicting the weather the most accurately, with The Old Farmer’s Almanac claiming it has an accuracy of 80 percent.
Are there two farmers Almanac?
There are 2 big almanacs. The Farmer’s Almanac is probably the most famous across the U.S. for the general public because this is the one the media is always quoting. It is not the most popular one for sales though. On Amazon, the Farmers’ Almanac ranks #19 under Almanacs and Yearbooks.
