Dept. of Justice sides with farmers in John Deere right to repair lawsuit

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking a federal district court to reject John Deere’s motion that could lead to a dismissal in its right-to-repair case.

The department recently issued a statement of interest in the case expressing concern that if the court ruled in favor of John Deere, it would violate the Sherman Antitrust Act by preventing farmers and independent repair shops from performing certain repairs on John Deere farm equipment.
