The American Farm Bureau Federation has reached an agreement with John Deere giving farmers the so-called 'right to repair' its high-tech equipment.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Farming equipment is expensive and plays a major role in the ability of Colorado farmers to get the work done that’s necessary to produce the products that help feed our communities, but getting that equipment repaired often presents another set of challenges.
But News5 has learned about a recent agreement between American farmers and John Deere at a conference in Puerto Rico that aims to chart a more convenient course that benefits consumers. ”We did have problems with having the opportunity to repair our equipment where we wanted to or either repair it on the farm. A lot of times, dealers are several hours away in different parts of the country,” said Duvall.
According to those involved in the deal, for the first time, the agreement commits John Deere to ensure that farmers and independent repair facilities have access to many of the tools and software needed to keep the equipment running. It’s a move that could significantly lower some of the costs for our food producers.
