Jimmy Carter (ex-pres) has plenty of peanut plantations!
*laughs* I know there's gotta be an "ex prez - cow manure" joke in there somewhere !
I thought peanuts grew on bushes and you picked the 'pods' (peanut shells)? They are related to peas and soybeans, both of which grow on low plants.

Peanuts grow underground... I remember someone bringing in a whole peanut plant for a Botany presentation in college. I don't normally eat peanuts so it doesn't matter to me where they grow. My favorite nuts are cashews & pistachios, both of which come from trees I think.
