Agricultural Considerations
Farmers in South Australia, Australia have historically had mixed feelings about DST. While the original justification for DST included giving farmers more daylight hours, modern farming practices rely heavily on the sun's position rather than clock time. Dairy farmers particularly note that cows don't adjust their biological clocks, creating temporary disruptions in milking schedules.
Preparation Tips
✓ Consider the time change when scheduling meetings with people in other time zones.
✓ Check and replace smoke detector batteries when changing clocks - it's a good reminder!
✓ Use the phrase 'Spring forward, fall back' to remember which direction to change your clocks.
✓ Gradually adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the time change to minimize disruption.
