The Create mod can be used to automatically farm crops and replant them.
Linear Farm Automation
This design produces a very efficient farm that can be extended as far as desired in both length and width. This tutorial will create an automatic farm with 80 each of beets, potatoes, and wheat,
Layout
Begin by laying out a grid of four 9x9 squares placed end to end. In the center of each square, dig a 1-block hole and fill with water in order to irrigate the plants. Place a slab in the hole and place a torch on top.
At one end of the grid, dig a hole four blocks deep, five blocks in width, and seven blocks in length.
Underground Rail Line
From inside the hole, dig a two block wide tunnel the along the right side of the grid for the full length. The right side of the tunnel should be level with the bottom of the hole and three blocks high. The left side of the tunnel should start one block above the bottom of the hole and be two blocks high. This forms a bench along the left side of the tunnel on which to run the rails. In the picture to the right, the top layer of dirt is removed from the beginning of the tunnel for illustration purposes only. You do not need to expose the tunnel.
Extend the rail bench two blocks into the whole. Place an unpowered Powered Rail at the end of the extension followed by a normal rail then a powered Powered Rail. Fill the rest of the tunnel with rails using Powered Rails and Redstone Torches approximately every 16 blocks. End the rail line with a Powered Rail abutting a solid block. This will cause the harvester contraption to return to the start point.
