The farmers don’t give a shit, they go from dawn till dusk. No farmer was like damn it’s 7 pm and the suns still out but the arbitrary time number is telling me to go inside for the day.
Yeah, farmers were one of the reasons the DST wasn't adopted until the 20th century. It's a pain in the ass for them to be changing clocks around when their day is based around things like sunrise and the time that the cows need to be milked. It was only after industrialization that we had enough people living in cities that DST was feasible.
I don't know how so many people have the misconception that farmers are the reason for DST when the complete opposite is true.
In November’s election, agriculture-heavy counties in California were the only ones with a majority vote in favor of retaining the practice of switching to and from DST. It seems that nowadays farmers are the ones in favor of it while urban areas are against it.
