A barter agreement is a legal contract that outlines the terms of trade between parties. This could be a trade of goods, services, products, or similar. Barter agreements are often used in place of exchanging cash or monetary payments. This agreement may also be called an "exchange of services" agreement.
An example of bartering could be a farmer who produces soybeans may enter into a barter agreement with a farmer who produces fertilizer, both agreeing to exchange amounts of their product with each other for mutual benefit. Barter agreements cannot work with land but exclusively involve exchanges of goods and services between parties.
