Why Barter?
Bartering is a way out of a
“money mentality.” It places val
ue on human resources and not
commodities. It increases cash
flow and buying power, stretches
resources, extends goods and ser
vices to those on low or fijffcd in
come, taps relatively wasted tal
ents and resources, and can
involve all family members.
The challenge of bartering is
making the right exchange. Some
communities have a clearing
house, groups or publications to
help. There are also national

groups and clubs for this purpose.
One obstacle that discourages
some individuals from bartering is
determining value for value. Any
material expense should be paid
before services are rendered and
should be paid for by those receiv
ing goods and services.
Determine your expectations in
advance to avoid misunderstand
ings.
Guide To Successful Bartering
• Know who will supply needed
materials. Usually it is the re
ceiver, but the provider in some
cases may have the needed tools
such as a lawn mower. When
materials must be purchased,
work together to determine speci
fics, cost limits, quality of mater
ials, deadline and other details that
could become irritants.
N
• Don’t assume anything. Be
sure to agree on the details of ex
actly what will be done. Be sure
expectations are clear to all. In
some cases a contract or written
agreement may be necessary.
When You Provide A Service
• Be sure you are clear on de
tails of expected service. Don’t
take on tasks that are over your
head.
• Keep the receiver well
informed on your progress. In
form the receiver also of any prob
lems or delays.
If You Receive A Service
• Carefully explain and super
vise work to be done. Don’t be
caught with a completed job that is
not what you expected.
• Don’t hesitate to check the
provider’s qualifications.
Swine Herds To
Participate In
Research Project
DES MOINES, lowa The National Poik
producers Council (NPPC), in cooperation with
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service and the American Association of Swine
Practitioners, has begun a pilot investigation of
the epidemiology of acute Porcine Reproductive
and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS).
These groups are collaborating for the first
time to respond to an animal health issue. The
pilot study will be of an acute form of PRRS that
was observed throughout 1996 in several states.
The pilot research will look at current out
breaks of acute PRRS and study herds that were
previously affected. Lautner said producers ex
periencing significant reproductive losses and
preweaning piglet mortality should contact their
veterinarians for possible inclusion in the study.
