The Biden administration and the states of Illinois and Minnesota
sued tractor and agricultural manufacturer John Deere Wednesday,
arguing that the company’s anti consumer repair practices have driven up prices for farmers
and have made it difficult for them to get repairs during critical planting and harvesting seasons.
The lawsuit alleges that Deere has monopoly power over the repair market -- which 404 Media has been reporting on for years.
The lawsuit, filed by the Federal Trade Commission and the attorney generals of Illinois and Minnesota,
is the latest and most serious legal salvo against Deere’s repair monopoly.
Deere is also facing a class-action lawsuit related to its repair practices from consumers in Illinois
that the Department of Justice and other federal entities have signaled they are interested in and support, as we reported last year
