FTC settles with John Deere in right-to-repair antitrust case.

The FTC and attorneys general from five states reached a settlement with Deere & Co. requiring the company to provide farmers and independent repair shops access to diagnostic software, repair manuals, and tools previously restricted to authorized dealers. The settlement resolves a January 2025 antitrust lawsuit and includes 10 years of compliance oversight and a $1 million payment to the states for enforcement costs.
