John Deere owners will get the right to repair equipment under FTC settlement

John Deere has agreed to allow farmers to repair their own equipment under an FTC settlement, giving them the right to access repair information and tools. This move is significant for the agriculture industry, where equipment downtime can be costly. Farmers will now be able to fix issues without relying on John Deere's authorized dealers. The settlement is a win for the right-to-repair movement, which aims to give consumers control over their own devices. This change will likely benefit farmers and the environment.
