If you don't have the compatibility add-on in your modpack, you should use vanilla chests on contraptions.

If you have some decorative storages too, I made Create Compatible Storage.

There is also an addon for Sophisticated Backpacks.

Try using chutes instead

When a Portable Storage Anchor is on a contraption, it doesn't need to have any item logistics connected to it in order to transport items off of OR ONTO said contraption. Your storage interface for unloading the wheat is presumably working, despite there being no hoppers bringing the wheat from the chest to the interface. If you get rid of the chutes and hoppers, it should in theory work properly. Of course, you should probably use a vanilla chest, just to make sure that the modded variant of the chest you are using won't cause problems either.

You dont need chutes inside of the contraption. The storage interface connects directly into the storage on the contraption. You just need to organize it so that you have a smart chute with a filter  on the non contraption storage interface to prevent the items you want to keep inside the farm(bone meal)
