George Carver encouraged farmers to plant alternative crops instead of cotton. The crop he was most interested in was Peanuts because he not only saw them as a nutritional crop but for other products to improve their lives.
George Washington Carver invented many things from peanuts.

George Washington Carver published bulletins for poor farmers to alternate their crops. As a result he developed and promoted 100 products made from peanuts that would be of use around the farm.
So many peanuts were being grown, that George Washington Carver had to find other uses for peanuts.
George Washington Carver promoted peanut butter, partly as a nutritionally useful product, but primarily because he knew peanuts were very good for the soil as a crop in a rotation cycle, and he wanted to give farmers a market for the peanuts they grew.
