It found a buyer.  Hopefully he'll be a good custodian of it.

In a move to preserve an important piece of American heritage, the historic Farmers? Almanac has been acquired under new ownership, saving the 208-year-old publication from permanent closure and ensuring the continuation of one of America?s longest-running traditions.

That's good news! Cherished traditions should be preserved if at all possible.

Heartily agree, Bill, and add that in these unpleasant times we indies, intentionally or not, are helping preserve another tradition - free speech.  We can take some pride in that regardless of ROI.
