That is an insanely low yield. You should be able to feed at least 1 person per acre with wheat. Other crops like corn and potatoes can have yields that are 2-4x larger from the perspective of calories vs. land use.

You are right I messed up the calculations, I still stand by 10 acres being a small farm.
