That has to be BS, though I've heard it, found it. Farmers don't punch clocks. If they need to work from sunup to sundown, what difference does it make if that is from 0600 to 1800, or 0700 to 1900. DST does make the daylight any longer, it just shifts the hours at which it occurs. The more reasonable rational was to have more daylight happen when folks are at home doing stuff so that energy could be saved by not needing the light, etc. Whatever. I gotta go with the 'stop the madness' altogether camp. It's more trouble than it is worth.
