This is a tutorial on how to make an automatic wheat farm using pistons. It is very simple to make and I haven't seen a YouTube video like this one. This was a pain in the neck to make because I lost my work 2 times while filming. It is relatively easy to make but hard to describe in a text form. Constructive criticism is always welcome!

One more thing. If you have any tutorials you want, you can just ask and I'll do them! :biggrin.gif:
Hans Lemurson's spiral wheat farm is way more efficient and less time consuming than the "automatic" ones using water to knock the wheat blocks off.
Wow, I disagree with this statement so much. Hans' design was not really anything new. It's essentially what I had been doing, before he even made the post. When he first made the post, I immediately thought of linking 5-6 other posts that had very similar designs, but decided not to steal his thunder. I find straight lines a lot faster than the spiral, but the spiral did look cool, so I felt like that was the one thing that he was adding to the already well accepted designs.
Hans farm is 31 wheat, and this one is 160. I know that I can harvest and replant this in less than half that time that it takes you to harvest and replant 5 spirals.
The one thing that I did like about my old method (and Hans' method to a lesser extent) was the ability to lean against the wall of wheat that I was harvesting or planting. With this automated design, I'll have to "balance" on the center row while replanting, but I still think it will be much more efficient than my old method.
If the center row is lowered below the wheat level, then the water will probably corner. I think the best design may be to make the center row retract down 2 levels for when you plant, and then raise up during harvesting.
Nice job Amazing128! I'm going to replace my current farm with this design some time when I have the chance.

When I saw this Hans guys, I thought the exact same thing. And I'm glad you like this enough to replace your design with mine!
