well you have to have a timer in your for your map. so what you do is this.
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| crop thing |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Elapsed time is exactly "whichever" |
| ¤ Current player commands atmost 1 farm |
| Actions: |
| ¤ preserve trigger |
| ¤ comment your trigger |
| ¤ set resources current player add 2 ore |

If you don't want to have to do that for each one, you could create a burrowed unit under the building when its made and have a cycle ckecking and giving to do the minerals and then eventaully give all of the burrowed units back.

This is how I would do it, it gives all the minerals in one trigger loop.
Hopefully you can figure out the style of the triggers.
There's 2 important things, relating to one fact, the triggers must account for all the farms in one loop:
1. The triggers must provide for the correct max # of farms. If they have more, not enough farms will be given, the last trigger won't fire, and the next player to run the triggers will screw it up. You might want to have triggers going up to 512 or 1024 to be safe - 2048 is definitely a concrete maximum (unit limit) if you want it to be perfect. To make the system bug-free will be worth the extra two or three triggers.
2. The triggers with the farm amounts MUST be from greatest to least, or it won't finish in one loop, and the next player will screw it up, as mentioned above.

Moose is a good with triggers.
I would do what PCFred did in Majesty. He gave all money buildings to some player. Then the other player gave them back and boosted your minerals.

that's essentially what moose did (if i can read correctly 
), and about the autoharvest; i have an idea on that. you need 2 locations, 1 for your CC which i assume is where you'll drop the crystals off, and another for crystals. then, when someone wants to harvest crystals, all they have to do is bring an SCV to the CC. first, you'll want a trig that always centers the CC location on teh CC ( i won't insult ur intelligence by describing this). then, what you'll do is this: if current player brings at least 1 SCV to 'location CC', p(whoever you chose crystal to be for) commands at least 1 crystal; then center 'location crystal' on crystal owned by p(whomever), order 1 SCV at location CC to location crystal, give 1 crystal owned by p(whomever) to p(someone other than "whomever" ), preserve. that way, it won't get a repeated loop, and it'll order SCVs to the crystals (if there are any).
And, as usual, my post is goshawfully long. And, as always, i hope it helped!
P.S.: Oh, and by the way, if you used Moose's system, make sure that in the last trigger, you reset the countdown timer. Moose might've forgotten that, or just didn't consider it relevant.
