A new session has been added to the 2026 Dealership Minds Summit in response to the news that Deere has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. states.
The FTC settlement requires Deere to provide farmers and independent repair providers with the same equipment repair resources, including applicable software capabilities, currently available only to authorized dealers. This news and other developments are curated at Farm-Equipment.com/JDsettlement.
“The Impact for DEALERS on Recent Right to Repair & FTC Rulings” … In this special session, industry experts candidly cover the immediate, intermediate and long-range ramifications – and risks – for dealers on the just-announced FTC rulings and class-action settlements. Following experts’ interpretation of the judgments, you’ll understand what’s at stake as independent mechanics and customers gain access to resources previously available to certified servicing dealers only.
This presentation – exclusively for Summit attendees -- will NOT be reported upon by Farm Equipment or Ag Equipment Intelligence staff. It’s YOUR chance to ask the questions that NEED to be asked.
