I never understood this argument because farmers are the least likely job to use the clock to tell them when to work... The idea of a farmer waiting for 8am to clock in is ridiculous.

    It's nothing to do with farmers. I don't know where people got that idea.

    Farmers get up when it's daylight and you can see, what time it is isn't relevant. It's not like the animals know what daylight saving is so if they don't get fed when they expect it, they'll kick up a fuss.

    It gave them more day light in the morning

    Because the hens, pigs and cows came out an hour early, right?

    It's got nothing to do with farmers. So whether or not farmers find daylight savings useful (I think the split is roughly 50/50) is irrelevant.
