I don't want to give you more work but depending on your acreage, growing wheat may not be too hard. Growing hulless oats is quite doable in my experience.
Also, depending on your need for oil, could you manage with sunflower oil or a nut oil? Then you could grow and press them yourselves.
I normally wouldn't suggest more stuff since you already have an exhaustive list but it seems like you're aiming for as much self sufficiency as possible.
Be sure to post lots of pictures and updates, this sounds like fun!
