Which presidents were farmers?

Jimmy Carter owned and ran a peanut business inherited from his father. They planted peanuts at one time, but by the time Jimmy took charge, they ran a peanut distribution business, buying peanuts from farmers, storing them and reselling them.Harry Truman ran his father's farm as a young man but soon moved to the city.Ulysses Grant ran his father-in-law's farm near St. Louis for a few years, without much success. His career was a short one.William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor , Andrew Jackson, James Monroe, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington all owned large plantations which ,except for Harrison, they farmed with slave labor. Most of these men had other sources of income other than their farms so I am not sure you would call them farmers.John Adams owned a farm which was probably not a major source of his income .

Did the fremont people only eat the food they farmed?

The Fremont people, who inhabited the Great Basin region of the United States, did not solely rely on the food they farmed. While they cultivated crops such as corn, beans, and squash, they also supplemented their diet with wild resources, including nuts, seeds, and game. This diverse diet allowed them to adapt to the varying environmental conditions of their region. Thus, their subsistence strategy was a combination of agriculture and foraging.
