Retail - Farmers Branch, Texas, United States
The economy functions by people producing and providing valuable products and services in exchange for something we want more than our production: food, shelter, transportation, plumbing work, etc. You can repair cars all day, but, in order for you to obtain that which will make you happy, you need to translate your repair skills into a medium of exchange, i.e. money. Instead of using Federal Reserve Notes, however, the Ag Trading Post uses barter medallions. We firmly believe that this model will catch on throughout the country, and we're working hard to make sure that DFW is the premier market for barter.
