I'm seeing conflicting writes-up as to whther there are two similarly
named publications. If they're separate, then maybe the following
is still around?

Dammit, this is like when there were two Saturday Night Lives...

There is something called the Old Farmers Almanac, which lives on.

Yeah - The “Farmers Almanac” dates to 1818; that’s the one that’s going under. The “Old Farmers Almanac” is much older and is still around. I did an interview with the folks running the OFA back when I was doing radio in the 90’s.

Sounds like there's now an opening for a "Young Farmers Almanac"!
