The text aims to guide young farmers by presenting essential concepts related to successful farming practices, including the importance of knowledge, capital, and passion for agriculture. It emphasizes that a thorough understanding of farming is critical for success, regardless of prior experience or background. The opening of the book establishes the significance of knowledge in successful farming by referencing the ancient wisdom of Columella, who identified three critical elements required for farming success. The author argues that aspiring farmers must not only possess capital and a love for farming but must also acquire the necessary knowledge to avoid pitfalls commonly faced by those with little education in the field. He illustrates this point with examples of individuals who have failed in farming despite having substantial capital but lacking the requisite knowledge and experience. Throughout this initial portion, the author strongly advocates for education in agriculture as a vital component to achieving both personal satisfaction and financial success in farming.
