Farmers used to care, when they made broad use of their spawn to assist with harvests and chores. If the spawn gets out of school an hour earlier, that's an hour more labor they can do before the sun sets.
Farmers have been mostly against DST since the beginning. It was golfers, bug catchers, and 7-11 that wanted it.
And permanent DST has failed when it was tried here in the 70s, in the UK a few years before that, and in Russia as recent as the 2010s. Why do we want to do it again?
