John Deere is facing a lawsuit over farmers’ ability to repair their machines

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has said that it is not going to settle till John Deere makes its repair-averse policy available. “The FTC is not going to settle unless John Deere makes the software available,” FTC said. This comes after the agency filed a lawsuit against Deere over its repair policy, which prevents farmers from repairing their own equipment.
