If you're trying to get income but keep it off the books, there are better ways. Since they're all illegal, and I always try to avoid violating the lawyer Rules of Professional Conduct, I won't go into them.
If you work 100 hours, and get 100 bushels of $10 soybeans as compensation, you have been paid $1,000 "in kind", which is the same as being paid $1,000.
