What’s the case?
The lawsuit alleges Deere restricted access to electronic repair tools/software, potentially making farmers more dependent on authorized dealers. Deere denies wrongdoing, and the court has not ruled against the company.
John Deere has agreed to a $99 million cash fund, however the total value is estimated between $392.9 million and $747 million - including mandated changes to provide better repair tools and access to farmers.
