Produced by Ted Garvin, Josephine Paolucci and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Roman Farm Management: The Treatises of Cato and Varro" by Cato and Varro is a historical agronomic work translated into English in the early 20th century. This compilation likely draws from the knowledge of ancient Roman agriculture, emphasizing the practical techniques and philosophies of early farming practices in a time when agriculture was the backbone of society. The opening of this treatise establishes the context and intent of the editor, who aims to bridge ancient wisdom with modern agricultural practices. The preface introduces the motivations behind the translation and the personal inspiration derived from the texts while highlighting the enduring relevance of the ancient agronomic principles laid out by Cato and Varro. In this portion, various themes emerge: the dignity of the farmer, the importance of careful farm management, and the methodical approach to choosing a farm—focusing on climate, soil, and community relations—all of which are crucial for successful agriculture. The reopening of these ancient insights sets the stage for comprehensive discussions on farm management as it detailed in the subsequent treatises.
