[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 400443, member: 7544"] I don't see how moving the clocks would help or hurt a farmer since they are self employed and can have their field hands start at any time that suits the farming needs. I know most of the farmers around here will cut beans/rice/corn/etc, regardless of what the clock says. At least until the dew hits and they have to stop. I was under the impression that the original idea behind it was so that the avg. 9 to 5 employee would have an extra hour of daylight once he got home from work to do personal things, mowing the yard, doing something with the family, etc. Moving the clocks was easier than trying to convince all the millions of business to let their employees start an hour earlier. My personal preference would be to go to DST and leave the clocks there but since I'm not a 9 to 5 guy any more, it's not a big deal to me one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
