That’s a bit sad … I used to pick up a copy every second year whenever I remembered it. It was always one of those things that was just always there and something that you thought would be around forever … at least during your own lifetime.
I remember my old neighbours talking about it, referencing it and reading it. I remember old farmers swearing by it. I remember old time hunters and trappers using it as a guide for weather … whether it worked for anyone or not, it was a mainstay that a lot of old time folks enjoyed.
It feels like the passing of another thing from our past.
My grandparents on both sides of my family were farmers, so I grew up reading it. Every now and then I would buy or gift a copy to someone. I have even referenced it for weather while planning vacations in the past.
It also never seemed to matter if the predictions worked, were accurate or even came to be … it was just another farmer thing … a farmer thing to talk about it. Everyone I knew who read it or referenced it, either swore by it or said it was no good … and those same people would turn around and say the opposite the next time.
The best part of it all was just that it was there and always there.
I was on the website a few weeks ago considering whether to do an outdoor kids bday party. It’s silly and barely a part of my decades on earth but these bits of institutions and normalcy chipping away is sad. I also thought that the other day that this is always in flux and nothing is forever so enjoy and move on. 🤷 Life

So yeah, i am sad to see it go as well.

I often looked at their planting tables and long term forecasts, but I’ve never seen any retrospective analysis of their accuracy.
