A question, how are you expected to get the ore blocks that you need to grow the resource crops in agricraft? While stuff like tin ore has induction smelter recipes, higher tier ores (like redstone) only have a single recipe in NEI, which is via the laser drill, even if you can make the laser drill (and the pink slime is a bit of a PITA). At 1.5 million RF to have a 5% chance of getting a redstone ore to enable a single crop, it doesn't seem very viable...
