Thank you, this is the one I recall from my youth (having them around the house). I did not realize there was another one with an almost identical name (this post).

Did we all have a Mandela moment that what we all thought was "The Farmer's Almanac" with the yellow cover actually has OLD in the title? And there is randomly this other farmer's almanac?

Why was there two? Linked article doesn't really say why the confusion exists, other than that there are 2 almanacs.

Looks like it’s not a case of a fork and but rather of different publishers all trying to serve a common need with a well understood formula. There used to be many almanacs, then there were two, now there is one.

Oh, I thought this was the one that was closing down!

Which really surprised me. Ben Franklin's version is a really strong brand so it makes sense it's some other Farmer's Almanac that's shutting down.
