    These are my calculations on my wheat farm. I will break down, what I think, is a more realistic view of wheat. I have a 10 level farm, each level has 8 lanes of water harvesting plots to plant on. Lets ignore the water harvesting aspect of this farm completely. Each lane is 8x77. So therefore each level contains 8x77x8 = 4928... So for the sake of argument, lets so 5000 even. It takes my fastest planter ive found, bARely_TrYx_HI takes 30 minutes to plant a single level, of the 10 in total on the farm. So if it takes 30 minutes to plant it... it would takes 30 minutes to harvest, maybe 2 or 3 minutes less given that you can be a little less organized on the harvesting aspect. On one level, this wheat minus the seeds is, give or take, 6.2k every level. 5k in blocks of wheat would produce, without fortune, 1 seed each... Even if 50% of the plots remain planted, that wont decrease planting time much, bc you still have to go in between already planted wheat. Furthermore 50% of the plots remaining planted would make you 2.5k in seeds sales... So once it's all harvested.... those 5000 blocks... thats another 6.2k plus the number of extra seeds you get with fortune 3. Even if you get 5 seeds every block... while still getting 1/2 to stay planted because of the mcmmo lvls... 2.5k for the remaining seeds... 2.5k plus 1.25 x 5000 for each harvested wheat + .50 x 5 seeds x 5000 blocks is still only 21250k... Obviously I am highballing all the buffs for fortune and mcmmo lvls... And it's still clearly no where near 35k an hour.
