When you publish a book or put together a television program, much effort goes into getting ever little detail correct. The Farmers’ Almanac is proofread at least 4 times after many eyes have already viewed it.  Our television program goes through all kinds of hurdles to insure complete accuracy. Going back to my Dad’s time as editor, there is always one (or two) people, each edition,  who pick up on the smallest detail that we missed. While I “hate” to be wrong”, I so enjoy having someone “catch us”. Read below:

I was watching Farmers Almanac TV and there was a story about the bride’s bouquet. One picture was of a bride within a horse shoe for good luck. The horse shoe was upside down. All the good luck would flow out!!!  Of all the people in the world who should know that you  should. Otherwise, I am enjoying the programs.

Sincerely, Margaret

Kudos Margaret. Of course we should have known about the horseshoe and now we do.

If you catch something that you think is wrong, let us hear from you. Many times we can back it up, but then there are the Margaret’s of the world who become our “unofficial support staff
