What Daylight Saving Time means for pair of Stanford farmers
SUMMARY: Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow, requiring clocks to spring forward an hour, which many Kentucky farmers, like the Millers in Stanford, appreciate. They cultivate a variety of crops, including tomatoes and blackberries, and look forward to the longer daylight hours in March that allow them to work later into the evening. Despite having greenhouse options, the Millers believe natural daylight is essential for growing quality fruits and vegetables. They advocate for a permanent time change, expressing that the extra evening light significantly enhances their ability to prepare their fields and maximize productivity.

Susan and George Miller look forward to March, not just because the weather gets better but also because of the light that comes with it.
