The publication, now in its 200th year, isn't afraid to go out on a limb with long-term weather forecasts that rely on a formula founder David Young first used in 1818 that utilizes sunspots, tidal action and other factors shunned by modern scientists. "Being in the business of predicting long-range weather forecasts is exciting, worrisome and rewarding," said managing editor Sandi Duncan. Maine State Climatologist Sean Birkel prefers the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's number-crunching forecasts that rely on numerical models, statistics and observation. The Maine-based publication, not to be confused with the Old Farmer's Almanac in neighboring New Hampshire, is finding new readers among Americans interested in where their food comes from, growing fresh produce in home gardens and finding a simpler way of living.
