From the “tell me something I don’t know file”; what is the hole drilled through the Old Farmer’s Almanac for? “Back in the day” it was to secure the book in the “outhouse”. How can it drop down the hole if its tied to something? Not many out houses so you can secure the book anywhere you want, the hole still exists.

Good Morning Saskatchewan had the chance to talk with Editor-in-Chief, Carol Connare on Friday. And what do we, prairie folk love to talk about? The weather of course. The almanac is known for giving monthly break-downs on the weather trends, the weather on a day-by-day basis for fishing, seeding and other husbandry related facts. It makes for a fascinating read if you are a star gazer or are looking for some gardening tips. And as Carol points out, very little changes when it comes to forecasting the weather. Winter is Winter after all. And whether or not you believe in climate change, you have to factor that in as well!
