The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has reached a settlement with Deere & Company, commonly known as John Deere, that requires the company to let farmers and independent shops fix their own equipment [1]. The settlement comes after a $99 million class-action settlement with farmers in April and requires Deere to provide the same repair resources its dealers have [2]. Under the order filed in Illinois, Deere will now be required to make diagnostic and repair tools available to equipment owners and independent repair shops, not only its own network of authorized dealers [3]. The company will also pay $1 million collectively to five states for antitrust enforcement costs and will be subject to strict compliance oversight for the next 10 years [4].
