Is that 5acres of cereal, or total mate

if you read"the complete book of self-sufficiency" he says "if i had an acre of good well-drained land i think i would keep a cow and a goat, a few pigs and maybe a dozen hens". when he talks about "a 5 acre holding" that also includes "wheat for bread, barley for beer, every kind of vegetable, every type of meat, eggs and honey". so in short its 5 acres in TOTAL.
