FTC and States Reach Settlement with Deere & Company to Advance Farmers' Right to Repair

The Federal Trade Commission, alongside five states, has secured a settlement in an antitrust lawsuit against Deere & Company, ensuring farmers and independent repair providers will have access to the same equipment repair resources, including software capabilities, as authorized Deere dealers for the next decade. This settlement aims to lower costs for American farmers and supports the broader "right to repair" movement.
