Georgia's Bland Farms, Jimmy Carter, Lane Packing and Other Stories are Part of Farmers' Almanac TV™ Story Line Up

Savannah, Georgia, January 4, 2007 - Farmers' Almanac TV™, the nationwide magazine show that swept into the hearts and homes of both urban and rural Americans, will feature five stories from Georgia in its second season, which starts this month.

The series, inspired by the treasured Farmers' Almanac™, includes 39 entertaining stories about people who cherish the earth's resources. It also provides timeless information about weather, gardening, natural cures and more.

"We are thoroughly excited about our Georgia stories," said Renee Bishop, Executive Producer of Farmers' Almanac TV, based in Savannah, GA. "They appear throughout the season, and showcase Georgia's beauty and rich history."

She notes that the season's line-up includes the types of hints and tips that have made the Farmers' Almanac famous for nearly 200 years: For example, how to predict the weather just by looking at the sky. The series also includes a rich collection of stories off-the-beaten-path, including the following Georgia features:

• Rooted in Bluegrass, Nickel Creek has taken its unique music to new levels. Farmers' Almanac TV™ caught up with them in Savannah, where the trio granted a rare interview, sharing their history and music.
  
  
• With the help of former President Jimmy Carter, Farmers' Almanac TV™ takes a historical look at the peanut, and learns how it became the savior of many farmers whose cotton crops were decimated.
  
  
• Farmers' Almanac TV takes you deep into Vidalia onion country, showing you Bland Farms, the world's largest grower and shipper of this sweet onion.
  
  
• The Lane family is a proud example of why Georgia is known as the peach state. Their company, Lane Packing, grows over 30 varieties of peaches and 10 varieties of pecans over 4,000 acres.
  
  
• Farmers' Almanac TV heads out on a shrimp boat with Captain Michael Sullivan and learns how his way of life is in danger.

Farmers' Almanac TV is hosted by Jim Wann, leading man/co-author of Broadway's "Pump Boys and Dinettes." He lives in Tybee Island, Georgia.

The series, which debuted in April, 2006, was broadcast in more than 40 states on public television stations last year, often multiple times throughout the year.

"Last year was a great success," said Bill Chisholm, CEO/president of Farmers' Almanac TV. "Our viewership numbers were as high as many multi-season public television shows, yet we were on air for just one season."

In fact, he said that many public television programmers have committed to running both Season Two and Season One in 2007.
