You can get roughly a Bale an acre. If you are luckys maybe a bale and half. You can pick by hand in a full day a bale, only if you are a good worker. That's 500 pounds of cotton.
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.

The number of bales that are produced per acre varies a lot by area, soil conditions, type of cotton, and weather conditions. For instance, in Lubbock, Texas in 2012, cotton production varied from 1/2 bale per acre to 4 bales per acre. The higher yields came from fields that were irrigated.
An acre is a measurement of area, not weight. There is no number of pounds that make an acre. It's the same as a square inch, you can't ask how much it weighs because it isn't something you can weigh.
To convert pounds per acre to pounds per square foot, divide by 43,560 (the number of square feet in an acre). Therefore, 18000 pounds per acre is equal to approximately 0.41 pounds per square foot.
