>>>a two-month extension could adversely affect livestock<<<
I must be dense, I still can't figure out how the Livestock will ever know.
As it is I have half of my time pieces an hour off at any given time of the year, I've never been much of a Clock Watcher
ROFL..only thing that came to my mind was that milking time would be different. But doesn't that change anyway. What would a week or two do different? Are we SURE this isn't from The Onion?
They claim that changing times cause schedules to be disrupted.
It is a rather silly. All they have to do is continue milking at the time they used to milk. In the case of DST, they would move the schedule up an hour....milk at 7 instead of 6 etc.
The cow isn't going to know the time changed, just you.
Cow watches.
Take a licking and keep on ticking.
