Sometimes.

I’m sure you can grow something better that will take less space and give more food energy.

Normally it is not. However the combo of heat and drought this past summer made it very hard.

Pointless.

Grains are for selling, and then only worth the time if you have acres of land and water. Best if sold as booze as it keeps and transports better.

Think in terms of beans, squash, pork and poultry. That is the diet of the subsistence farmer.
