Jimmy Carter was born October 1, 1924, and was raised just outside of Plains, Georgia, and died at the age of 100 on December 29, 2024.  Carter served as the 39th President from 1977-1981.  To pay tribute to Jimmy Carter’s life, the Georgia Peanut Commission recently published a segment of video recorded in 2008.  As a young boy in 1929 and 1930, Carter harvested, washed, boiled and sold 20 bags of boiled peanuts each day in town before lunch to earn a dollar a day.  Watch the video to hear Carter compare this young entrepreneur’s income to the hard-working people of the time.
