Tutorial:Wheat/Potato/Carrot/Nether Wart Farm

These farms can make you a lot of money if an efficient design is used. On this page, I will explain how to make an efficient potato/carrot farm step by step. (This could also work with wheat).


 * 1) Build a 160x160 flat layer of dirt.
 * 2) Open the water canals. (The canal should reach one end of the farm to the other, and there should be exactly 8 blocks in between the canals).
 * 3) Place the water. Do not buy water buckets. Grind for the magical water bucket if you have to.
 * 4) Till the farm with a hoe.
 * 5) Plant the potatoes/carrots.
 * 6) Place glowstone or sea lanterns every 8 blocks.
 * 7) Put your depth strider boots on, get in a water canal and start farming!

This farm can get you at least Silver Medal in the Jacob's Farming Contest which gets you Jacob's Ticket. Then you can buy tools from Anita and sell them for money. This method can also be used for wheat farming.
