How much money do farmers earn a week?

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.

Why was Whitney unable to make much money on his cotton gin?

Whitney was unable to make much money on his cotton gin because he did not patent his invention effectively, allowing others to copy it without paying him royalties. Despite the gin's revolutionary impact on cotton production, Whitney faced legal battles and difficulties in enforcing his patent rights. Additionally, the production of the gin was relatively simple, leading to widespread adoption by competitors who undermined his market. Ultimately, these factors combined to limit his financial success from the invention.
