An agreement announced today by John Deere, the Federal Trade Commission, and five states ensures farmers and ranchers will have access to the diagnostic and repair tools that help them and independent service technicians maintain and repair their current and future John Deere equipment.

This agreement reinforces Deere's continued innovation toward more flexible repair options, emphasizing increased access and transparency for customers. It formalizes Deere's ongoing commitment to expanding access to diagnostic and repair tools—helping customers and independent service providers maintain and repair equipment with greater choice and control—while providing the FTC and states with the ability to verify that Deere is meeting this commitment now and into the future.
