Just leave the damn clock alone. Most of the country is not involved in farming and most of the harvest is mechanized today.

We were on year-around DST in the 70s (and early 80s?). We should return to that.
I’ve heard that explanation before - that it was to give farmers extra daylight. While I believe the explanation is real, I think the idea behind it is bogus. Farmers don’t punch a time clock. They’ve got work to do, and daylight to do it in, they’ll get up and vet it done. It doesn’t matter what the clock says. I believe it could be similar with manufacturing jobs too. If a company wanted to save money by operating in natural light they could just change start times twice a year. We don’t need to fool around with the clocks - just apply a little common sense.
