There are still the same number of daylight hours in a day whether you have daylight saving or not.

I don't know why, but we were taught at school it was so that farmers wanted more daylight in the morning. Maybe this is so they can milk their animals or prepare them for market, and then send the milk out or go to market in the Afternoon.
I know we have dairies, but the laws were passed several years ago. There are other reasons as well, apparently.
