There is nothing at the moment that will stop people right now from bartering goods. But there are laws in the books that will come in and stop you from bartering. Again this goes back ten years or more, because they say that anyone who barters is really running an 'underground economy' and they're trying to make the people think that because you don't pay taxes on a straight barter, you're robbing 'the public' of getting more tax money to help the public -- this is the con that they're pulling. So, bartering itself is going to come under attack. If your going to swap a bag of corn for a bag of oats, they government wants to get between you because, as far as they're concerned, a third or a half of that bag is theirs.
