sarahtaber OP , 4 days ago We all know Jimmy Carter farmed peanuts. But for centuries, the South was a "King Cotton" monoculture. Peanuts weren't a "real" crop. They were seen as low-class junk food from enslaved & tenant workers' personal food plots. How did peanuts go from that to an economic tentpole?
