Best Answer

Jefferson didn't want to depend too much on industry or manufacturing. He believed that farmers were the "most independent" voters in the US because they didn't depend on anyone else to earn their living. He thought our government would be "virtuous" as long as it was primarily agricultural. Jefferson wanted to help the farmers. He thought low tariffs would help keep prices of the goods the farmers needed low.

He believed that farms should be diversified and self-sufficient. His experiments with crop rotation and botanical research made significant contributions to the nation's agricultural industry.
