Why do farmers bother they cows with DST, then? Can't they just get up at the same (real) time?

I think one of the problems is that the milk trucks and the rest of the industry do respect DST so if you lose one hour the milk might spoil. At least it's what I heard a farmer say on the TV a couple years ago.

Thanks. That's the first time I heard that argument considered.
