There is plenty of in-print and on-Web guidance on survival food forms and quantities per person - way more and way better than 'Fork can deliver in a web page or several. Among 'Fork's favorites, he'd shur include -
The vast, text resources of the LDS - for food preparedness and most anything else
And there's Dare to Prepare! 3rd Edition by Holly Drennan Deyo, Deyo Enterprises, LLC, 2009, even in its less pricey earlier, 2nd Edition
For
food of itself, there's BASIC LIST OF SUGGESTED ITEMS
FOR LONG TERM SURVIVAL,

Also, particularly in regard to canned foodstuffs, "Karen’s Article, Hoods Woods - Home Survival!, Karen Hood's - Can the Dependency, Emergency Preparations - Karen Hood's Article" http://www.survival.com/hoodswoods/?page_id=145
You'll have to work out this aspect of survival preparedness on your own - it's too individual in scope and sense to reckon head-on herewith; however, get it clear at the very start:
Who and how many do you intend to include at the dining table?
Any dietary requirements?
How long do you expect to keep on keeping on?
Food
Energy foods (you'll need extra energy in a
crisis) include peanut butter, dried apples, fruit cups, tuna fish, rice,
pork and beans, oatmeal, and pasta
High-calorie, high-protein, bland foods
Long-haul
Wheat, rye, corn, and oat grains
Preparation by boiling or eating ‘cold’
Prepackaged freeze-dried meal pouches, MREs,
peanut butter/jelly/crackers, applesauce/fruit cups, dry cereal or granola,
dried fruit, canned beans, ready-to-eat soups (not condensed),
non-perishable dry pasta, protein bars, and vitamins (to make up any slack).
Shelf-stable ready-to-eat meals made by Hormel, Dinty Moore, Tyson, Rice-A-Roni, StarKist, Idahoan, Sam’s Choice, Quaker, Hunt’s, Great Value, Pasta Anytime, etc.
For grains and, selectively, a whole lot more in foodstuffs for survival preparedness, please consider this -
In order according to the ‘Fork, in three stages:
First Stage:
Local Harvest http://www.localharvest.org/ Search, sort, and report various natural food outlets, including but not limited to farms, farmers’ markets, and meat processors, etc. by zip code and product sought with details of each including address, map sight, seasonal availability, etc. Amazing.
Second Stage:
Azure Standard
http://www.azurestandard.com/, if they deliver directly to you – forget East
and Southeast or you can stand the UPS gaff
Third Stage: Variously . . . (doubtlessly, many others . . . keep a close eye to shipping costs . . . not all of these conveniently deliver everywhere)

Comment: As for wheat grain, please consider acquiring wheat seeds (seed grade, not treated with chemicals, they say)) rather than wheat berries (feed grade).
