Growing Grains and Staple Crops is a practical beginner-friendly guide to raising the calorie crops that make a homestead more food secure: corn, wheat, potatoes, beans, winter squash, and other useful staples. Inside, readers learn how much land it actually takes, how to build soil for staple crops, grow small-scale wheat and corn, harvest and store grain, grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, handle dry beans safely, store roots and squash, save seed, and plan a realistic first year. Written for ordinary gardeners and homesteaders, this book focuses on practical numbers, simple tools, safe storage, realistic yields, and the food-security habits that turn a garden into something more dependable.
