## Resource

John Deere is settling a major lawsuit after farmers accused the company of blocking access to repair tools and software, forcing them to rely on expensive dealers. The 10-year agreement mandates John Deere sell repair resources directly to farmers, slashing downtime and repair costs — a critical win for agribusinesses struggling with rising expenses. Backed by the FTC and states, the settlement also pushes for nationwide “right to repair” laws, empowering farmers to fix their own equipment or through independent shops — boosting competition, sustainability, and control over costly machinery.
