In the USA the major use of daylight saving was during WWi and WWII to conserve fual resources during the war efforts. Nothing to do with farming.You'll note too that there are two states in the USA that do not observe daylight saving. Indiana is where I live and its one of them, and its a pain, two time zones pass through Indiana to top it off. Also most places in Indiana that are along the states border where there is a major  city in the other state close by that is those border county's economic lifeblood they DO observe daylight savings. For some of us near the two time zones and near the state border it becomes very confusing at times and a real pain in the butt. For instance the Indiana counties which straddle border near chicago IL, cincinatti OH, and louisville KY all observe daylight savings. I live down near louisville KY, and in Indiana here if I go less than an hours drive west I go from Eastern Time to Central Time, yet some of those coounties though along the border with kentucky are rural with no major population centers on either side of the state lines and so they go by state law and do not observe Daylight Savings but as you get further west along the indiana border with kentucky there are some counties that do observe daylight saving. Driving north less than an hour and though we're still in the Eastern time zone daylight is once again dropped. Going east towards cincinatti daylight is dropped less than an hour away but once again observed as you near the line with ohio and the city of cincinatti, thankfully still int he same time zone going that way though. So within two hours drive of the counties inside Indiana opposite of Louisville Kentucky you have in effect at various times of the year 4 differing times. A real pain in the butt <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
