So, it's not that strange that Alexander Hamilton supported the merchants, since he was the founder of the nation's financial system, but Thomas Jefferson was different. He was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, and as such he was more symathetic towards farmers.

The answer is Farmers. For Thomas Jefferson, farming was a lifestyle. He viewed himself as a rancher by calling and was ceaselessly hunting down more dynamic approaches to work his manors. He regularly longed for more private time to seek after these interests.
