John Deere will let farmers repair their own equipment

Here in the U.S., John Deere is, in a word, dominant. According to figures from antitrust nonprofit The American Economic Liberties Project, the corporation controls 53% of the large tractor market in this country and 60% of farm combines. It’s not the only game in town, but it’s a hard one to avoid. That’s precisely why refusal to allow customers to repair its products has been a major concern for farmers.
Over the weekend, Deere and Co. joined the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) in cosigning a memorandum of understanding (MOU) designed to open access to tools and repair information.
