Medievalists.net has had three recent posts about aspects of medieval farming practice which give insights into the life of the past yet who offer scenes that are still familiar.
The first is a guide to being a good shepherd dictated by Jean de Brie, who came from the area around Paris, in 1379 and had spent his working career herding livestock.
The article, with quotations from the original text, can be seen at How to be a Shepherd in the Middle Ages
