The first book focuses on agriculture, the toil and tribulations faced by farmers, as well as the importance of the gods' benevolence to ensure a successful harvest. The author discusses methods of planting, times of year most suited to different tasks, the breeding and care of livestock, and methods to protect crops from pests, disease, and the elements. These instructions are interspersed with poetic interludes that provide detailed description of the natural world, its beauty and its terrors, as well as the author's personal responses to the challenges and rewards of rural living.
