In barter… Is it “to pay in something” or “to pay with something”?

In barter deals... Say, a farmer wants to exchange his chickens for French lessons. Do we say like " A farmer pays a tutor in chickens" OR... "A farmer pays a tutor with chickens".
My guess is that BOTH forms are correct in spoken English at least. But I'm not a native speaker, so I'm not 100% sure about that.

I would say:
"A farmer gives chickens in exchange for French lessons"
or
In exchange for French lessons, a farmer pays his tutor with chickens.
However, I guess you were asking if you should use "in" or "with"
"With" sounds better to my ears.
