Production planning estimate
Plan around lb of grain per 32 sq ft bed
A starting estimate is 14 lb of grain per 32 sq ft bed. That means one garden bed is a reasonable first unit to plan for, then adjust for your climate, practices, and household demand.

Planning note: Also called Khorasan wheat. Large, nutty-flavored kernels on tall plants that are more prone to lodging than modern wheat, and lower-yielding, so it stays a specialty grain rather than a staple crop for most home growers.
