How did Ben Franklin help the modern hobby farmer?

For the hobby farmer to have time to get all the work done on the farm in the winter months means doing a lot of work in the dark.

Ben Franklin’s idea of daylight savings time is a true blessing for us. After the time changes this weekend I will have more daylight to work on getting my garden ready and trying to prepare a pasture for cattle this summer.

Thanks Ben!
