Daylight Savings and farming

We will spring ahead this weekend.  Without checking, I reckon this is the earliest I have ever seen the switch to daylight saving time.  As far as I'm concerned, it should stay on all year round.  I know it might seem strange to see the stars at 8 in the morning in December and January, but it would be nice to go home with the sun still on the horizon.  I definitely look forward to longer evenings this time of year.  Some of our summer nesting birds are arriving and the mornings are starting to sound like spring as the redwing blackbirds and some bluejays wake up early.
