You cant "plant" earthworms, not and have them live anyway. Earthworms (common nightcrawler) live in a burrow and since they are blind, if they come out of that burrow, they die (usually bird food). Even if the earthworms find a different burrow, its almost a certainty that they cant live in it because it has to be sized perfect for the earthworm. As they live and grow, they munch out the burrow to fit themselves, thus they cant live in a different worms burrow. Burrow too big and the worm cant grip the sides and move in it. Too small of a burrow and the worm cant get in or move.
As for the worms people are talking about that live in manure piles, those are totally different worms and will not live in your fields. Easy to grow and you get lots of them in 6 months with just a pile of manure but the only value is the pile, the worms are worthless for spreading on the field, they will just die shortly.
Strange story: about 10 years ago there was a pyramid scheme with compost worms. People would buy highly overpriced worms from a company with the agreement that the company would buy 10 times as many worms back from the customer a year or so later as well as all the worm compost (worm poo). Many people made huge money, even built sheds so they could keep reproducing all winter long but like all pyramid schemes, the bottom fell out leaving an even larger number of folks holding the bag... of worms. The only limited market was the compost, the worms that the company bought back from customers were only sold to new customers (suckers). Soon the market was saturated and the compost was selling as much as was able but because of the contracts for worms, everything fell on itself. Strange story but true.
I learned all about the worms and worm raising when I had large fish. I had a small aquaponic thing going on and I wanted worms to feed the fish. Super easy to do but totally useless for your fields. The granola crunchers even like to keep worms under thier sink in cities, they think they are saving the world if they put food scraps in that and let the worms eat the food, rather than just throwing the food in the garbage. Those hippies are strange folks too.
