Answer:

a $100,000 combine a 25000 dollar tractor, a gang plow or disc a grain drill 13-13-13 fertilizer don't know what chemicals you need for the orchard.
well. i can only answer the wheat farm part cause i don't know anything about apples. Um...it really depends if your going no-till or not. If your not having the best rainfall. go not till, because conserving moisture is the no 1 priority. You normally prepare the ground before planting either by gassing using anhydrous of ammonia which is high in nitrogen, or you can put urea on but its not as expensive. But for machinery. I would buy a winter crop planter for wheat. You can choose to buy one on 1m spacings or even 30 cm. its up to you and it depends on the seasons and how much money you have got. Its probably best you get a chisel plough to break up your ground every so often. there are tonnes more implements that you need but send me a message if u want to know more. With your sprayer, you will probably using roundup or nutrazine to kill off the weeds. And during wheat season, you might have to sray it for pesticide or fungicide. Especially if you get yellow spot or stripe rust. Anyway, thats a small bit of advice. Im on 15 years old so i dont know everything about farming. Hope this has helped
You should have your soil tested. This way, you can put down the right amount of fertilizer. You can send a sample to the Agricultural University of your state.
