Although he includes some practical ideas in his article, the actual suggestion of daylight saving may have been a jab at the French for being lazy. Beyond Ben\u2019s passing suggestion, DST\u2019s actual inception is credited to an entomologist. A post office worker by day, this bug enthusiast hunted for insects at night.

This decision came from an effort to conserve coal during World War I. In 1918, this concept spread to the U.S., and in 1966, it became an official practice. For our country, the primary motivation for DST\u2019s introduction was to save electricity, and the notion became even more popular during the energy crisis in the 1970s. Ironically, some studies point out that DST may actually increase the amount of money spent on energy. This is because the cost of heat and air conditioning goes up, even though people save money on lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-most-farmers-dislike-daylight-saving-time\">Most Farmers Dislike Daylight Saving Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planting-season_t20_9JrRQA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planting-season_t20_9JrRQA.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planting-season_t20_9JrRQA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planting-season_t20_9JrRQA-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/planting-season_t20_9JrRQA-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twenty20.com\/photos\/d90d6825-d0f3-405c-8f75-e9c9460cad0a\/?utm_t20_channel=bl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@addie2354 via Twenty20<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One pervasive myth about DST is that it was created to help farmers by providing them with more daylight hours to spend working outdoors. However, farmers have been some of the strongest opponents of DST since the 1960s. To this day, most farmers are not keen on DST. Just like humans have trouble adjusting to a new schedule, so do crops and animals. Twice a year, farmers are faced with the difficult task of adapting their plants and livestock to a new routine. DST is especially loathed by dairy farmers whose cows are sensitive to particular milking times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From our lake house to yours, we hope you make it through DST this spring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November?
