WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Trade Commission, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and the Illinois A-G are suing tractor manufacturer John Deere over its equipment repair policies.
The lawsuit claims that the company has violated both state and federal laws by not providing customers with adequate options to repair their farm equipment.
Ellison said that John Deere maintains an “unlawful repair monopoly” that makes the process of fixing farm equipment slower and more costly than it should be.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, John Deere said the lawsuit is based on “fatally flawed legal theories.”
Plaintiffs have asked for an injunction against Deere, which reported $7.1 billion in profits in 2024.
