Probably less than a few thousand a year for most people.

Basic necessities of housing, food and clothing were obtained with some cash, bartering and people creating things they needed.

What do you mean by the term agricultural revolution?

Agriculture means farming

Revolution means a change.

It basically means changes in farming. Lots of new farming methods were introduced. At first people owned a few strips of land scattered over a couple of fields but farmers would swap with each other so they had a big chunk of land instead. Eventually people each had big bits of land which was called enclosures. High farming is the application of science to farming to make new machinery. For example, when the seed drill was invented many people lost their jobs. Farm owners would hire laborours to plant each seed individually but when the seed drill was intruduced many people lost they're jobs. However this saved farmers alot of money.
