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.

I know nothing about farming, but if you wanted to be as close to self sufficient as possible on 1 acre (which I'm assuming isn't possible — especially in the winter), would you just do 2/3rds vegetable garden and 1/3rd grain and a small space for a house and equipment shed?

Fill it entirely with bamboo, subsist off of that like a panda. Hell, we got a volcel pledge going too, why not subsist off of a grass that really, really doesn't want to be eaten?
