As for these wonderful reasons for farmers hating DST, sure maybe its true if you work on a milk farm about the milk sitting there ~but honestly i doubt it as milk is produced for the calves to feed, and being ready at the same time every day isnt always the case, it depends on when the calve wants to feed,
most farmers where im from honestly could care less about DST and their crops, they enjoy the long hours of sun their crops get, cause the more sun they get, the faster it will grow, and sometimes they can get an extra cutting in per season, which up near where i live is quite often the case as it stays light alot longer during the day, and never truely gets totally dark at night ~goes from dusk to morning~ and as for burning crops, get irrigation, most farmers are more used to the older style of things even if they are younger farmers, and dont like dealing with clock changing etc, cause if you are talking about them STOPPING at night when it comes to harvest etc, thats BS, most farmers will run 24/7 if they need to get the crop off, i used to be the night man, it makes no difference, sure there is a bit of dew, but its usually warm enough at night that it doesnt get bad enough to stop cutting, honestly, farmers are farmers, thats why they dont like DST, anything to do with the crops is BS, where im from
