If you've ever worked on a farm you know that's a lie. And if you were to look at farms years ago before and when they instituted DST you'd understand this is not a rural invention. Years ago in the country you get up and do chores when it's light, go to bed when it's dark.
DST was introduced by factories to take advantage of light hours to save electricity.
