Amount that farmers can be credited toward a vehicle at one car dealership in Canada if they trade in cattle. Walter Piccott Chev Olds, a dealership on Prince Edward Island, will accept up to a dozen cattle. The idea came from an employee who owns a meat shop. The dealership’s general manager says he wants to help the cattle farmers, who have had a rough time in recent years. “So we got together with the local sale barn and made an agreement with them,” he said, “and we’re actually paying five cents more per pound than they would normally get.”
