Actually, not in the slightest:

It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers. In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented. The factors that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle's readiness to be milked, are ultimately dictated by the sun, so the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges.

Been there, done that. Cows absolutely hate DST, as do most livestock, but cows are the worst. And your complete schedule needs to change and it takes months to acclimatize to the new schedule.
