The Federal Trade Commission, along with attorneys general from Illinois and Minnesota, has filed a lawsuit against John Deere, accusing the agricultural equipment company of unfair practices that raise repair costs for farmers and restrict their ability to fix their equipment timely. The complaint alleges that Deere has long limited farmers' and independent repair providers' access to necessary repair resources, forcing them to rely on authorized dealers and consequently increasing costs. The lawsuit seeks to compel Deere to provide access to its repair tools to farmers and independent shops, promoting fair competition and more affordable repairs.
