The Romans had a range of minor gods and goddesses who had responsibility around agriculture and agricultural processes. In general, though, you will find Saturn referred to as the god of agriculture, particularly of the sowing of the seed.

His wife Ops was a goddess of the harvest and their daughter, Ceres, 'was the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and the love a mother bears for her child.' Her worship involved fertility rites and rites for the dead, and her chief festival was the Cerealia.

Lactans, a minor deity, was also considered to be responsible for the prosperity of the grain crop.
