FARM BUREAU SAYS PRODUCERS NEED MORE RIGHT TO REPAIR PROTECTION LIKE COLORADO HAS PASSED
Apr. 28, 2023
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
The American Farm Bureau Federation says producers need additional right to repair agreements similar to a law recently passed by Colorado lawmakers.
The Centennial state became the first to implement right to repair legislation and AFBF's Emily Buckman says...
"Colorado lawmakers recognized the progress that we made by including (memorandum of understanding) language," she said.
Earlier this year, AFBF signed MOU agreements with John Deere, Case IH, and New Holland that require the manufacturers to provide producers with the necessary resources to repair ag equipment.
She tells Brownfield this helps producers reduce time and labor costs.
"When a piece of equipment breaks down, it does cause major disruptions on the farm," Buckman said. "This is why it's so important that farmers and ranchers across the country have access to codes, tools and information that they need to fix the problem right there on the spot."
Buckman says AFBF has been having similar discussions with other equipment manufacturers.
