A nitpick, but I don't think this has been true for many decades. There are lights on tractors, you know. True, daylight is a better time for many farming activities, but during harvest, my father will sometimes work from 6am-2am if the conditions are good. (Yes, 20 hours though a nap after lunch is possible if there is someone else around to run the combine during that time).
