Hi,
one really useful thing would be to make it so that dispensers plant seeds into farmland.
This wouldn't be a huge change to the game but could vastly improve automated farming. This should work with carrots, potatoes, mellons, pumkins, wheat and maybe even plant saplings and sugarcane.
Of course, if it were made to plant saplings it would need to check if the ground was dirt, grass or farmland. It would check for sand with water next to it for sugarcane.
This would be consient with how the dispensers already handles most everything else.
I could have sworn Dinnerbone said something about not wanting to do this because it would make farms 100% automatic, which is something he doesn't really want. I'll try and grab a quote.
Either way this has been suggested a lot before, so this will probably be locked.

honestly, I think it would be annoying to have a dispenser for EVERY SINGLE FARM LAND IF YOUR MAKING A BIG FARM.
I'm not saying you must use these, it would just be an option that makes sense. I could argue I'd rather build that many dispensers then replant that many seeds over and over.
With the use of hoppers, pistons and a long timer you wouldn't even need to build a very big farm.

Hope you like this idea.
It doesn't make sense to me that they wouldn't add planting seeds with 1.5...
