Wonderful!
What exactly do those dispensers do? :3

The dispensers are hooked up by redstone to a button outside the farm, when the button is pressed the first time the water is dispensed from a bucket inside the dispenser, once all the wheat has been harvested and moved to the collection point, a second press of the button collects the water block previously placed (ready for re-use). You can then collect all the wheat and seeds and replant the seeds for the next harvest.

Yep.
The only ingredients are redstone 1 x button and a few repeater.
step 1: place dispensers.
step 2: I ran the redstone behind the dispensers, then underground and up to where the button is.
Step 3: I placed a repeater every ten blocks or so I think (but you have to make sure you dont put a repeater behind a dispenser or the dispenser wont activate).
Done.
repeaters were used to extend the redstone signal (redstone signals only travel 15 blocks).

You should. The more you play with it the more you learn.

When you press a button water comes out of the dispensers and moves the wheat to a collection platform, then you press the button again and the water is collected by the dispensers.
You then have to replant the seeds.
I usually use pistons for an automated wheat farm, but in this instance I wanted to have something a little more fancy looking.
I think the dispensers make it look pretty cool.

This is a night shot of the same set up and I added a picture frame of the wheat now that I am running 1.4
There is also a link on the original post where I am building it if your interested.
