This article is about the Farmer’s Almanac, for a similarly titled publication, see Old Farmer's Almanac

Cover of Farmer's Almanac from 1818

Farmer's Almanac is a reference book used by farmers to determine astronomical positions. According to the cover of the latest edition, the almanac has been published continuously since 1818. In addition to astronomical tables, the book publishes weather forcasts for the entire year for different regions of the United States, along with helpful tidbits, some factual and some that could be considered dubious.

It was founded by editor David Young and publisher Jacob Mann in 1818. Astronomer Samuel Hart Wright succeeded Young in 1851. It has been owned since the 1930s by Geiger Bros. a family-owned promotions company, and is used as a promotional supplement for many businesses, who give away an abbreviated version of the Farmer's Almanac to customers.
