Placement
The turtle should begin above a chest facing towards the first row, and will move right for each subsequent row. The chest should contain the item to be planted. If the plant has seeds different from the harvested items, like wheat, place a 2nd chest above the turtle for the output.
Note: If area is not already plowed or
planted it must be a farming turtle.]])
