Wasn't daylight savings time designed specifically for this man?
It's a common myth that farmers want daylight savings, but farmers are actually usually quite opposed to it. Daylight savings was originally proposed as a way to conserve energy, but it wasn't put into practice until the world wars, where energy conservation was actually important.
