Although I can't really imagine Elves ploughing the fields and such either, I'm sure they did. They had to have at one point, anyway, before there were any men or any other people to trade with, if they weren't doing it themselves. But I don't think that they viewed such jobs as being 'lowly', or on the bottom of the class hierarchy, or looked down upon them, like we might be inclined to do. The people that make the food or make the clothes control what you eat and wear, after all - without them you'd be naked and starving. Not a nice thought.
