Massive wheat farm !!!
NotABronie:
Okay I have a design for hweat that uses minimal water but the dimensions have to be a multiple of 3 like 60x60 and if it has four stories, it yields I think 12800 wheat. I'd be glad to donate and build.

how about you share you concept to us so we can see if it looks good. ::)
NotABronie:
You make a 3x3 square and dig out the middle block and till the 8 surrounding blocks. Fill the center with water and the edges with seeds. Make a giant 60x60 square, with 400 holes. This makes a layer. Each 3x3 yields 8 wheat. There are 400 of these patterns so you will end up with 3200 wheat, assuming all plants are good. However, realistically it should yield h=harvest; 3000≤h≤3200 and you can make the water fall, platform to platform, so you only need a mod/op to place 400 water blocks. And 400/12800 is 1/32, so you need only 1 bucket of water to feed 32 pieces of wheat. Also make the platform spacing 2 to prevent greifers making you replow the whole thing by trampling it.
