What would that wheat field grow, like two loaves of bread?
Quick maffs, 1 acre can produce 2.3 tons of wheat per growing year. The image looks like about one-sixteenth of the acre is dedicated to grain. That divides out to 140 kg of wheat per year. Maybe you lose 10% of the mass from suboptimal grinding to flour, that's 126 kg of flour per year. 400g of flour per loaf of bread means you could make 315 loaves from 1/16 of a square acre.
Maybe you divide that by half just because of labor constraints, lack of proper industrial ewuipment, and no economy of scale.
I mean thats still a hell of a lot actually? Not sure what your points are here but i go through a loaf of bread in a week, sometimes two if i havent eaten a lot and stick it in the fridge for toast. So even if you have a family of 4 (or 6) thats still plenty? Obviously a lot of labor involved but in terms of growing capacity it seems plentiful.
