Pegasi - Have no farming 'land' in Cloudsdale, because (of course) they live on clouds. Their specialty is flying fast and working the weather. The ones we have seen provide the weather changes that help with plant life, however, they are not shown interacting with it. If they wanted food besides grass, they would have to work both sky and land to achieve it.

Unicorns - Do just about everything with magic, even opening doors and folding cloth; the most gifted can achieve great spells, depending on the situation. It seems the show has very few being physically active with the environment. And Rarity isn't a good example, as she found digging in dirt near traumatizing.

The Flim Flam brothers showed their skill in mechanics and magic as energy, but not farming. While they can take over an orchard and produce the end product -Cider; they didn't show interest in the aspect of farming, which they would have needed in order to continue their business.
