You're overestimating your cereal yields, unless you're planning on using industrial farming equipment and artifical fertilizers on first rate farmland.
Figure 20 bushels per acre, less if your acre isn't ideal for cereal crops. (extremely rocky, clay, or drought prone)
As far as green beans go (I'm thinking you're talking about string beans, the kind you buy as canned vegetables) you're right on, if you can irrigate or get lucky with rainfall, you could have a much bigger harvest, 2 or 3 times as much.
It'd probably be better to "farm" a smaller patch for a higher yield in the case of green beans. No clue on how well that would work with the cereal crops though.
try pole beans you can feed a family of four on a 5 foot long roll.

Good info though it seems like a hard thing to pin down with all of the variables (soil, water, temp, season, techniques of growth). Though provoking all the same. Seems like a few acres could do a lot.
Great info Bear and thanks. Check out www.pathtofreedom.com and see what this family raises on a 1/10 of an acre. It will blow your mind. Keep in mind they are in the middle of Pasadena CA. and I mean in the middle.
Hello
Irespective of what you intended to grow: given that you dug 50 sq yards per day - it would take you 14 weeks to turn over an acre - by which time the weeds would have grown back in the first section dug.
Very much informative post. I like it. Thanks for sharing in the web.
