“Springing forward” and “falling back” are common phrases people use to remember to set their clocks forward or back an hour for the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time. But why does Daylight Saving Time exist when not all 50 U.S. states observe the time change? Farmers often get the blame, but is it warranted?

Guest host and Spectrum News 1 agriculture reporter Chuck Ringwalt speaks with Spectrum News 1 ag expert Andy Vance and Leah Curtis, policy counsel and senior director of member engagement for the Ohio Farm Bureau. They discuss how Daylight Saving Time started, why it exists and what’s being done to modernize the time by which we all run our lives.
