Farmers Unite to Oppose Daylight Saving Time Change
Farmers nationwide object to the daylight saving law urging a return to old time. Iowa groups like Polk and Dallas counties push resolutions asking repeal, citing farm workload confusion and inefficiency in planting harvesting and threshing. The Iowa Senate memorialized Congress for repeal. Wisconsin and other states react. Spain shifts opposite, while Canada adapts. Letters from farmers express strong opposition and practical hardship for labor and wages.
