American Farmers Can Tell Their Story as the Right to Repair Case Moves Forward
Farmers thought they were “trading up” from the simple tractors made in the 70’s and 80’s when they bought new high-tech John Deere products. Unfortunately, Deere held the exclusive rights to repair the new equipment, resulting in high costs and delays in operations.
Attorney Virginia Buchanan of Levin Papantonio Rafferty is representing a Florida farmer in this consolidated class-action lawsuit in which American farmers are demanding the right to repair their John Deere equipment.

Buchanan characterized the ruling as a major step forward for all farmers.
“Judge Johnson’s ruling opens the doors to the courthouse for American farmers, so their story can be told,” Buchanan said.
