Hello,

I own one of the largest wheat farms on the server and it is the best possible system designed. I will be showing here how to make a proper wheat farm and thus how to farm it properly

First of all, fun fact about water is it spread all 4 directions 4 blocks. This means a single drop of water can water. What does this mean? It means a single drop of water can water 80 blocks.




There is no need to make lines of water. It is a waste of space that could have wheat on it. So what does it mean that it can water 80 blocks? It means you only need a water placement once every 9 blocks. As shown below.





Now Onto Tools. If you are making a farm even half as large as the one I own (200x200, 2 floors) then you need this:



An Unbreaking 3 hoe is priceless. Yes, you can enchant one using a enchanted book. PS: You can only enchant a hoe with unbreaking as far as I know.


Secondly, the best tool for harvesting is this:




Why? Well, it doesn't HAVE to be unbreaking but it doesn't hurt I suppose. However, if you want to make a lot of money off of wheat a Fort 3 is the best plan. It does NOT multiply the amount of wheat you get. It DOES multiply the amount of seeds you get. Seeds are currently $.10 a piece. You can make up to $.40 extra per wheat.


Any other questions please post it below. If you'd like to see the farm I use, feel free to PM me in game.

 

It is most effiecent to use all 80 squares. If you want I can show you in game.

 

I have not recorded my income per hour yet also my herbalism is 298

 

I am probably terribly biased on this issue actually. I absolutely detest pumpkin farming. More often the not I accidentally hit the stems or something, so for me Wheat is the way to go. In actuality I would say Wheat is technically more profitable considering you can plant more wheat in the same space and you make at least $1.25 per piece sometimes more due to seeds.
