(You just made kjn go "Mggn! Blln!" which means he dislikes the way you treat history.)
The oldest gods (the Vanes) were fertility gods, in the broad sense of the word.
(From "The Viking Age ABC:") The Viking age was expansive when it comes to agriculture. They used real plows. Animal husbandry and agriculture was the most important sources of food. Examples of cultured plans are wheat, rye, barley, oats, linen and hemp. It is likely that they used fertilizer. The most common farm animal was the swine, although sheep and cattle also was kept.
We've had agriculture for 3 000 years here. Remember also that they had thralls, which is a definite clue there is agriculture going on, as they can't be supported in a tribal society. (The number of thralls wasn't that great, though.)
