Crop Swap International Harvester has announced a unique program permitting farmers who are enrolled in Payment In Kind to use their PIK entitlements to purchase new International Harvester farm equipment. "We are initiating a 'Crop Swap' program that makes it easy for our customers to purchase new equipment at prices that never will be more attractive," said E.C. Brewer of Brewer Motor and Equipment Company of Wallace. The program includes contact with major trading companies which allows the farmer to make an assign ment of his corn, sorghum, wheat or cotton for delivery at a future date in return for cash that can apply toward the purchase of the equip ment. Brewer said all the farmer needs to do to participate in Crop Swap is to come to the dealership and select the queipment he needs, taking advantage of current low machinery prices and incen tive programs such as low financing or elimination of Finance charges for a desig nated period. Once the selection is made and the customer's PIK en titlement is verified, the International Harvester dealer calls a commodity trader. After the customer and the trader agree on the transaction the trader, at the customer's request, sends a check for the amount of the equipment purchase to the dealer. Any difference be tween the amount of the equipment purchase and the PIK entitlement will be paid to the farmer by the com modity trader. If the farmer needs opera ting cash, he may choose to receive 90 percent of the value of his crop immediately and the remaining 10 percent upon delivery. The equipment buyer can apply investment tax credit and depreciation allowance for new equipment when figuring taxes for 1983. Crop Swap is one of the most innovative and best farm management tools available to help the farmer buy equipment that will assist him in making this year more efficient and more profitable, Brewer said. The first streetcar railway in America started its public service in 1832, operating in New York from City Hall to 14th Street. The fare was 12 and a half cents.
