A settlement has been reached between the Federal Trade Commission and Deere & Co, also known as John Deere. This agreement will allow John Deere owners to repair their own equipment.

The company had been criticized for withholding necessary software and requiring customers to use authorized dealers. This settlement is the second of its kind for Deere this year, following a separate class-action settlement in April.

Further details about the settlement are available from the source, including the specifics of what the agreement entails for John Deere owners.
