Daylight Savings

In Japan, DST was implemented after World War II by the U.S. occupation. In 1952 it was abandoned because of strong opposition by Japanese farmers. That is one thing that Japan has right, no confusing daylight savings. No need to worry about turning up an hour early for work or missing an hours drinking time in the evening. But farmers? Why is it always farmers who seem to be so influential in deciding about daylight savings. Scottish farmers in the UK resist change all the time, I mean, it is not as if the cows know what time it is. Then we have Japan, oh no don't pick the rice at the wrong time of day or it will not be happy...
