Yes Mr. Green Jeans was the farmer/handyman that worked on the set. There was also the conniving Bunny Rabbit, the not so bright Mr. Moose and the narcoleptic Grandfather Clock.

I remember watching this show when I was a kid..
Here are the cast members and their roles on the show ~
Hugh 'Lumpy' Brannum
Hugh Brannum played the Captain's main sidekick Mr. Green Jeans and other less-frequently seen characters, such as the New Old Folk Singer, who played a double bass (or "bass fiddle") as if it were a guitar, Mr. Bainter, the Painter, Percy, and Uncle Backwards.
Cosmo 'Gus' Allegretti
Cosmo Allegretti created and performed several of the show's best-known puppet characters, including Bunny Rabbit, who always tricked the Captain into giving him carrots, and Mr. Moose, whose riddles and knock-knock jokes invariably ended with hundreds of ping-pong balls cascading from above and hitting the Captain on the head. Allegretti was also the actor portraying the Dennis the Apprentice, Miss Frog, Mr. Whispers, Dancing Bear,Grandfather Clock and Uncle Ralph characters.
The Banana Man
Sam Levine played an unusual, mostly mute character known as The Banana Man, who produced huge bunches of bananas from within his coat. He would also magically pull watermelons from his pockets. [1] (Although he was mute, he would continually hum in a falsetto voice, and when finding several bananas at once in his pocket, would exclaim "Wow!", again in a falsetto voice.
Bill Cosby
Bill Cosby was a regular on the show from 1980 - 1984, when he did Picture Pages educational segments (as had the Captain himself, from 1978-1980).
Debbie Weems
From 1973 until 1978, the late Debbie Weems was a regular on Captain Kangaroo. She played many roles, including Debbie the newspaper reporter, and was also an active puppeteer who did the voice for Baby Duck. Weems also sang on many episodes and recorded an album of songs from Captain Kangaroo.
James Wall ("Mr. Baxter")
Jimmy Wall (credited also as 'Larry Wall') was a regular on the show from 1968 until 1978. Playing kindly, African-American "Mr. Baxter", he added a sense of calm to the show when all others around him may have been caught up in the silliness. He also starred with the Captain and Mr. Greenjeans in a serialized production entitled "The Missing Paint Mystery" (shown on the program from December, 1969 until 1977; with the exception of 1976) in which the trio travels to Curacao (a Caribbean island) to confront the playfully evil villain, Garumph (played by Cosmo Allegretti).
Carolyn Mignini
Carolyn Mignini played herself and all the women's roles on Captain Kangaroo from 1981 until the program went off the air in 1993.
Kevin Clash
Kevin Clash was discovered as a puppeteer on a local Baltinore television program and began appearing regularly on Captain Kangaroo from 1980 through1984. He was the puppeteer for the puppet character Artie (a voice he later used on Sesame Street as Elmo) in puppet segements featuring Ralph and Artie. He also appeared as himself and as an actor in many of the costume sketches on the program.
John Burstein
John Burstein joined the show in 1980 as Slim Goodbody, a man wearing a bodystocking which showed the internal organs of the human body painted on it in their appropriate locations.
Here's a picture taken from the show.. Your proof http://www.spitenet.com/online/summer24.htm

Yes indeed, there was a character named Mr. Green Jeans on the show. I always remember him wearing old, faded jeans or overalls. Whoever said he was on the show has a free lunch coming !

Yes. Without a doubt. There was a Mr. Green Jeans.
And a bit of trivia...The actor who played Green Jeans (Hugh Brannum), was born in Sandwich, Illinois.
