PRINTHave it your way.
Over the years there have been certain slogans that stand out in our memory and almost become part of our every day language. Burger King’s “have it your way” campaign is one of those catchy ones that really worked well. You knew after watching those commercials that you could go in and order a burger “your way” even though it was “fast food.”
Well – if you could have it your way — the Farmers’ Almanac that is — how would you like it? Would you order more weather, hold the astronomy, extra recipes? Is there something you really like about the print edition? Or is there something you think we’ve missed?
At this time of the year, we start thinking about the 2010 edition. Before we start assigning stories, I thought I’d ask you –our web visitors – if you had any suggestions on how we could make the Farmers’ Almanac Your Way.
To quote another very famous and popular ad slogan (but change it slightly) GOT IDEAS?
I’d really appreciate your feedback regarding the print edition of the Farmers’ Almanac. Do you like the articles? What would you like us to add or take out? What about hints – should we add more green or frugal tips?
Share your ideas here or feel free to e-mail direct at sduncan@farmersalmanac.com. This is your Farmers’ Almanac and your chance to help us make it even more “your way.”
Thanks!

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
