The US average for barley is about 65 bushels per acre, with a test weight of 48 pounds per bushel. This amounts to 3,120 pounds per acre, which is 1.56 tons per acre. Just multiply that times the number of acres in the field and you'll have your answer.

There is no "average size field" in the US. Depending on which part of the country you're in, an average field size can be anywhere from one acre in organic farming areas to as much as 1,000 acres in the plains states.

How did the three field system work?

The three-field-system worked when the farmer has three separate fields that he wanted to use to plant different crops on. Field 1 would have wheat, Field 2 barley, and Field 3 is left fallow. Then the farmer would rotate the crops the next year, planting wheat or barley in Field 3, then Field 1 would be planted with barley or wheat respectively and Field 2 left as fallow. Next year Field 1 would be left fallow and Fields 2 and 3 are planted with barley and wheat. Ultimately this system allows each field to rest for one year out of being used for 2 years. Sometimes some farmers or producers would use that field that they are keeping fallow for some extra grazing for their cattle or their neighbor's cattle so that nutrients via manure can be incorporated back into the soil. For today's farming community, a field that is left alone for one year is a field that is making them loose money, so they have to make use of that field they are not using for cash crop production, be it for hay, or extended grazing.

If the earth rotated more slowly would you expect it to have as strong a magnetic field?

No it would probably weaken. The Earth's magnetic field is due to a combination of two factors: Earth's relatively high iron content and Earth's relatively high rotation speed. If you reduced either factor you should expect the magnetic field's strength to be reduced.

Yes, it is a wheat beer... and wheat contains gluten! I would imagine it contains more gluten than the average beer brewed with barley and not wheat (however, barley is a glutenous grain as well!)
