Farmers Union Supports Right to Repair Bill

The Agricultural Right to Repair Act was introduced in both the House and Senate, and the legislation is strongly supported by the National Farmers Union.

NFU President Rob Larew says the Right to Repair Act is an important step in the fight to ensure farmers across the country have fair and affordable access to the parts, tools, and information they need to fix farm equipment.

“I want to thank the officials who introduced the bill to guarantee farmers the Right to Repair their equipment,” he says.

“NFU stands ready to help push this bill forward.”

Right to Repair is a pillar of NFU’s Fairness for Farmers campaign to address the monopoly crisis in agriculture.

Just three manufacturers control the majority of farm equipment production, sales, and repairs, and use software locks to prevent farmers and independent mechanics from completing certain repairs.

Right to Repair could save farmers $4.2 billion every year.
