God of Agriculture?

Is Obhad-Hai a god of agriculture too? One of my players in my Robin Hood campaign chose a deity that isn't in Greyhawk, but in Golarion. Erastil, the God of Agriculture. Would Merrika be better for him?

His character is a half-orc ranger that is a lumberjack. Here's the character profile if you need to look at it.

Berei, Merikka, or Wenta would be good choices for a deity of agriculture.

Obad-Hai is a patron of wild places.

Berei, Atroa, Sotillion, Wenta, and Phyton are all directly connected to some element of agriculture, while Ehlonna is a more general power of natural fertility, and Beory is the Oerth itself.

However, it should be noted that Erastil is a power of hunting as well as agriculture, and so Obad-Hai is suitable, as are powers like Trithereon, Phaulkon, Gadhelyn, and Ferrix, plus Ehlonna again. (Also Grolantor, Gorellik, and Grankhul on the nasty side of things.)

I would look more at those hunting aspects than the farm and agriculture aspects.

Thanks, Samwise. The player decided to pick Ehlonna, though.

Ehlonna makes the list and is certainly a reasonable equivalent.
