Wheat is pretty straight forward. There are warm season and cool season varieties so you could extend your wheat harvest.
The "hardest" parts are getting the grain from the seed heads and grinding the grain into flour.
So, get a power drill, a 8"+ drill bit (doesn't need to be sharp), a pair of ubolts that fit snugly on the drill bit, a short length of chain (~6 to 8 inches), and a large bucket with lid (4.25 gallon seems to work fine).
Drill a hole in the lid large enough to stick the drill bit into. Slide the chain onto the drill bit and sandwich it into place with the Ubolts. Put wheat seed heads into the bucket. Put on lid. Make drill powered chain flail go spinny. This should beat the seed out of the seed heads. Seed falls to bottom and empty seed heads can be picked out. Repeat until you get tired.
Hand crank grinders should be available online or if you frequent junk/antique stores you may run across some. The you may need to find a source for new grinding plates though specifically for grinding flour. So research may be required to find replacements for the model of grinder you find.
