I'm creating a large wheat farm and alot of the seeds I put down are popping right back up and sometimes ones next to them as well. Any ideas on why? Thanks
What MazeCraft about it being too dark can be correct. If you're planting it underground be sure that every crop has a little bit of light near it, if it's above ground, light should not be a problem. I planted a little farm underground and the lack of light ended up being the problem for the seeds popping out.
What I do myself is place water under the walls of the room, which avoids any exposed water (a nuisance if you or crops fall in; you can use lily pads but it is easy to accidentally mine them); for lighting I use glowstone in the ceiling, as shown below, which gives you an idea of the lighting requirements (I've also used torches placed 2 blocks up and/or recessed in holes in the ceiling):
Note that the light level of the block directly above the crop must be 9 or higher, or 8 at your feet (as shown on the F3 screen, assuming you are playing 1.8; older versions show the light at head level so you can directly use what it shows).
Water will not hydrate farmland unless it is at the same level or one block higher; you can't put water under it.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
