Apart from water, you need other resources for your crops to grow. Like farm plots and water systems. Let’s start from this.
Crop Seeds

Watering System
If your farms are in lands with good rainfall, then you don’t have to worry about watering them. As rains will do it for you. But if the farm plots are in dried lands, you have to prepare a watering system. So, be careful about watering your crops.
