Wheat farm (auto-harvestable) spanning an entire realm. I think it typically gets about a single chest of wheat per harvest, maybe a bit less. I've been thinking of expanding it upwards (adding more identical layers above what's pictured), but honestly it's not worth the trouble unless I find myself getting bored... as things stand, one harvest provides enough bread to last me for several months.

4470/14505 ~ 0.31 pumpkins per block used during each harvest

1/2 = 0.50 pumpkins per block used during each harvest
0.50 / 0.31 = 1.61
G2E's farm is about 61% more efficient than Yeavon's.

This seems topical:

-awaits Dundy's post-

He owns two ground -> bedrock farms full of wheat. 50x50 at a rough guess 25 layers. The one closer to spawn never got finished though :(

I would post some screenies but I can't be arsed and I'm not sure whether he would want me to post them.

So someone has finally beaten my farm. Took em about 2 years. My first farm could spit out approximately 18k wheat per harvest.
