Balderdash - that's non-farmer talk for bull####. My uncle was a dyed-in-the-wool batchelor farmer who HATED daylight savings time. However, he had an easy solution: He simply left his clocks where they were. He only had to remember that the feed store closed an hour early in the summer. I can't imagine how DST would have any other effect on farmers.
Grain requires sunlight in the morning to dry out before harvesting. DST means harvesting starts an hour later, but the grain shipping terminals work unions hours and close an hour earlier realtime.
I worked on a ranch in Nevada for a couple of years...none of the neigbors or the guy I worked for changed their clocks. We stayed on Austin, (Nv) time which was before the sun came up until after it went down. I never even wore a wrist watch for two years!
