The farmers might enjoy the extra daylight to harvest their crops, but the school kids would be walking to school in the dark if DST was year-round. Or so went the argument when the idea first surfaced way back when.
I've heard that before also, but it seems to be a weak "argument". Farmers should be able to easily adjust to it. As for school kids, parents can escort them to the bus stop, or take them to school themselves. It's really not that difficult to adjust.
