Tech level D Agriculture 11-25%, Mining / manufacturing/construction 25%, Distribution=20%, Other services 32%
5*0.25= 1.25, 5*0.20= 1, 5*0.32= 1.6
Five adults, One Farmer, One maker, One Trader, 2 Other.

Consume = 300kg wheat equivalents x 10 persons = 3000Kg

A Tech level D farmer produces 1300kg per hectare at 40 hours of work per hectare and can harvest 50 hectares per labor year (2000 labor hours).
3000kg/1300kg= 2.30 hectares of wheat produced for a labor hours of 92 hours.

The homestead requires 50Kg of meat and 150L of milk per person to adequately feed them.

50Kg*10= 500kg of meat and 1500L of milk.

The Homestead raises hogs for meats like hams and bacon. Hogs require 6kg of corn for each kilogram of pork at harvest. 6*500= 3000 kilos of corn….. only 10% of the herd can be harvested to keep the stock healthy though. 6*500 =3000/2*1300 = 1.2 hectares or 40*1.2= 48 labor hours * 10 (10% is consumed) 480 labor hours keeping hogs for meat.
2.3 hectares wheat and 1.2 hectares corn. 2.3+1.2= 3.5 hectares * 40 hours per hectare…. 140 labor hours plus 480 hours herding hogs for 620 labor hours per year farming the absolute minimum.
Your pork section is off. You are harvesting 500Kg of pork and leave an additional 4500Kg of pork alive. You need to feed them all and have land for them. I come up with 6*500*10=30000Kg of corn. That comes to 11.5 hectares, 462 man-hours. The land to graze the pork is 10*500/50 = 100 hectare, using 4000 man-hours. So the total land usage for just the pork is 111.5 hectare and requires 4462 man-hours a year. You need three people.
