It's a myth that daylight saving time had anything to do with farms.  The last
time I checked cows and chickens don't know how to tell time.

It had more to do with companies like Ford that built assembly plants to take
advantage of natural lighting.  More natural light = less artificial light =
more cost savings.  So they wanted the clocks to coinside with the daylight.
