Farmers????? They're the most opposed:

"Protests are also put forth by people who wake at dawn, or whose schedules are otherwise tied to sunrise, such as farmers. Canadian poultry producer Marty Notenbomer notes, "The chickens do not adapt to the changed clock until several weeks have gone by, so the first week of April and the last week of October are very frustrating for us."

It mostly benefits those with regular jobs who enjoy longer hours of outdoor leisure in the Summer.

It is Dailylight savings time that was invented to help the farmers get an extra hour of sunlight. I wonder how much energy and time is lost on moving clocks back and forth, fixing payrolls, and people arriving late or too earily so an approximate .01 percent of the population working in farming can be accommodated by not having to rise an hour earily.
