The first part of the post. It's 170LBS of dry food.
As saturated, it's 7x that much weight. = 1190 lbs of food.
It's enough food for one person for two years. I was commenting that the numbers were
wrong on the data. I know it's not your data Grandma, I Love ya.
HUG..

Yuk... I think I will skip your ‘saturated’ soggy bread...
With 182.625 days in 6 months (including leap year), that figures out to 14.894 ounces per day or 4.965 ounces of dry grain per meal.
Stored grain is not at zero moisture, but usually between 6 and 8% and a loaf of bread is not fully saturated, but contains about 20% moisture by weight.
Sorry it it looks like I am pouncing on you - Just that the engineer in me can’t resist doing the basic calculations...
As one who actively stores enough for a family of 3 + extended family, I would strongly suggest erring on the abundant side. Hunger is not an option and food is an excellent barter item - IMO. So the more well managed stored food you have the better off you are.
LOL That said, Welcome to the thread and please don’t be dissuaded from participating...

I love you too and have missed you, returning your hug and raising you 2.
LOL, you know me, I doubt if a ton of it would be enough to make me feel secure.
As for all that oatmeal, breakfast of course, in bread, choc. chip / oatmeal cookies and fried patties, with onions and spices, BBQ sauce and you have a hamburger [on your oatmeal buns of course.]
Keep us posted on the garden, spring is coming.
