For the automatic sugarcane farm, I noticed you grew it on grass. From what I've seen and read, sugar cane grows faster on sand.

As for the automatic wheat farm, resupplying it with bonemeal requires me to get off of my blocky butt and that means it's not fully automated. If you hook up an energy condenser that makes bones with a macerator and back to the condenser, you gain 2 bonemeal per operation (EMC bone = EMC of 3 bone meal and macerators produce 5 bonemeal per bone). If you hook the macerator up to solar power, and you set the runoff bonemeal to go into the machine, you no longer have to resupply it.
