Sowing and harvest times?I gather farming is the flimsy justification for mucking about with time.

It's got nothing to do with farming.Cows and sheep don't know what time it is. They know it's dark or it's light, or they're hungry or not hungry. They can't read clocks. It's actually more of a pain in the arse for farmers than *not* changing the clocks.
The reason that we keep changing between GMT and BST is because people who can't be arsed getting up in the morning want to have more daylight in the evening.

But putting the clocks back in WinterActually gives us less light in the evening.
If I had my way I would put the clocks forward in Autumn to give us more light in the evenings (when I can use it on the allotment after a day in the office) rather than less.
But then it would mean that Greenwich - home of GMT - never actually observing GMT itself and that wouldn't be right.
Oh! and Scotch land can have their own time zone.
