'Right to Repair' Farm Equipment and Empowering Family Farmers is Aim of Tester's New, Groundbreaking Legislation

As a part of his continued effort to break up consolidation in the agriculture industry, U.S. Senator Jon Tester today introduced his Agriculture Right to Repair Act, which will finally guarantee farmers the right to repair their own equipment and end current restrictions on the repair market. “I’ve been a farmer my whole life, and I’ve seen the unfair practices of equipment manufacturers make it harder and harder for folks to work on their tractors themselves—forcing them to go to an authorized mechanic and pay an arm and a leg for necessary repairs,” said Tester.
