Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Tyler, Taylor and Carter all earned at least part of their income by farming. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Tyler and Taylor owned large plantations worked by slave labor. William Henry Harrison owned considerable farm land, but I think he share-cropped it or let his son do the farming. Carter's father grew peanuts but turned it into a peanut distribution business- I am not sure that Jimmy Carter actually planted peanuts himself. Truman ran his father's farm for awhile when he was a young man.
