Farmer typically don't earn regular weekly paychecks. Farmers usually only make money during the harvest seasons, which depends on where you live, but here in NC it starts in august with tobacco and continues into January with cotton. MOST farmers don't make much money at all after all bills are paid. For example, A typical acre of cotton would produce about 1000 pounds of cotton. As of right now cotton is 55 cents a pound, or about 550 dollara an acre, however the costs to grow that are of cotton are probably between 300-500 dollars. This same example applies to most other crops. BASICALLY, farmers don't make much money, unless your a very large farmer, you will just make enough to break even.
