So I moved out to the country and have a small (1/2 acre) field now. Some part of me wants to put it to good use; maybe farming is in my roots. So Im wondering if anyone grows their own ingredients? If I grew my own grains what might I have to do to them to use them in a beer? I ask because I have only brewed extract beers so far and dont know much else. I know hops grow around Oregon just fine too so I could cover that aspect fine. If I wanted to grow it all what else might I have to grow? Anybody here a farmer and know what sort of production I could expect from .5 acre? Im probably crazy because I know you arent supposed to plant the same crop year after year and such too but I just dont know much of anything more than that.
Let me know how nuts I am or am not,

PS. I have a tractor already but no implements for planting or harvesting grain, what might I need for that?
