Morphology
farmer's + calendar
The meaning 'an annual publication for farmers with planting schedules and weather info' is directly derivable from 'farmer's' (belonging to or for farmers) + 'calendar' (a yearly schedule). The possessive composition clearly signals a calendar targeted at farmers, and this transparent noun+noun/possessive pattern is common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun farmer's calendar comes from the simple idea of a yearly calendar used for a farmer's work. These booklets showed dates, moon phases and weather notes to help decide when to plant and harvest, so today the name means 'an annual publication' with weather forecasts and planting schedules.
