You need some serious acreage to grow wheat.

By far, the best yielding crop there is also happens to be one of my favorites - good ol taters.

And if you have 3 foot by 3 foot piece of ground, you can grow enough lettuce to choak a goat - it’s a freakin weed!

Maters! Also easy to grow and good yields.

If you absolutely must have bread, buy some flour and yeast and figure out a way to freeze it.

I did my taters in raised frames(2 levels) last year.
Just popped off the frames and didn’t have to dig much at all.

Know a guy whos daughter grows them in bails of hay or hay in a frame.

Cut out the middle man bakery. Easiest bread to make is tortillas, both flour and corn, plus Indian Fry Bread. Settlers in this country lived on Indian Fry Bread for years. Dessert was Indian Fry Bread with sugar and cinnamon or with honey.

Flour is on sale at Safeway through tomorrow. Four five pound bags of Gold Medal for $5.00. ($1.25/bag) I bought four, made room on a shelf in my freezer, and have room for more.

I suspect that there will be a flour shortage in the not too distant future.
