一场为进步科技而战的战役已经在美国的农田上打响，并在周日达到了高潮。在美国农场局联合会和John Deere签署谅解备忘录后，使用John Deere设备的美国农民有权进行维修。
这份长达六页的备忘录特别要求John Deere为农民和独立的维修设施提供使用公司工具、软件和文件的权限，以维修John Deere的设备。该文件还将该设备定义为常见的拖拉机、联合收割机或其他收获设备，但还将其定义扩大到包括“主要用于农业作业的其他越野车辆”。
美国农场局联合会主席Zippy Duvall说：“(这份备忘录)确保我们的农民能够修理他们的设备，能够使用诊断工具和产品指南，这样他们就能发现问题并找到解决办法。这是一个过程的开始，我们认为这对我们的农民和公司都是真正健康的，因为它所做的是为我们的农民提供了一个机会，让他们在个人的基础上真正与约翰迪尔合作。”
与此同时，美国农场局联合会(American Farm Bureau Federation)已向John Deere作出承诺，鼓励其州组织在本备忘录概述的承诺之外，制定全州范围内的维修权立法。虽然这份备忘录可能是农民们的巨大胜利，他们长期以来一直对John Deere将维修机会孤立起来感到沮丧，但一些分析人士担心，该法案将在很大程度上取得突破。
Kevin O’Reilly在一份声明中说：“通过我们的研究和宣传，我们已经非常清楚地表明，农民没有他们自己修理拖拉机所需的一切，他们对没有他们应得的维修选择感到沮丧。”O’Reilly是公共利益研究组织的“修复权利运动主任。他继续说：
这可能是向前迈出的重要一步。如果Deere真的为农民和独立机械师提供与其经销商相同的维修材料，那么我们会在屋顶上大声赞美。但《谅解备忘录》包含的执行机制有限，该协议最好的方面可能会被法律条文所掩盖。华东CIO大会、华东CIO联盟、CDLC中国数字化灯塔大会、CXO数字化研学之旅、数字化江湖-讲武堂，数字化江湖-大侠传、数字化江湖-论剑、CXO系列管理论坛（陆家嘴CXO管理论坛、宁波东钱湖CXO管理论坛等）、数字化转型网，走进灯塔工厂系列、ECIO大会等
维修权是一个广泛的问题，旨在控制科技公司对其产品维修的垄断。目前只有两个州——纽约和科罗拉多州——有积极的维修权法律，后者非常具体，只涉及电动轮椅。虽然联合会和John Deere之间的协议远非法律，但它确实提供了一个框架，其他行业可以遵循，让生产它们所依赖产品的公司承担责任。

A battle for progressive tech has been waged on America’s farmlands, and on Sunday it came to a head. United States farmers using John Deere equipment have the right to repair after the American Farm Bureau Federation and John Deere signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
The six-page long memorandum specifically requires John Deere to provide farmers and independent repair facilities with access to the company’s tools, software, and documentation to make repairs to John Deere equipment. The document also defines that equipment as the usual tractor, combine, or other harvesting equipment, but also expands the definition to include “other off-road vehicles primarily designed for use in an agricultural operation.”
“[The memorandum] ensures that our farmers can repair their equipment and have access to the diagnostic tools and product guides so that they can find the problems and find solutions for them,” said American Farm Bureau Federation president Zippy Duvall. “And this is the beginning of a process that we think is going to be real healthy for our farmers and for the company because what it does is it sets up an opportunity for our farmers to really work with John Deere on a personal basis.”
The American Farm Bureau Federation, meanwhile, has made a commitment to John Deere that encourages its state organizations to enact statewide right-to-repair legislation with commitments beyond those outlined in the present memorandum. While the memorandum could be a huge win for farmers who have long been frustrated with John Deere’s siloing of repair opportunities, some analysts are wary that the bill will break that much ground.
“Through our research and advocacy, we’ve made it abundantly clear that farmers don’t have everything they need to fix their own tractors, and that they are frustrated that they don’t have the repair choices that they deserve,” said Kevin O’Reilly in a statement. O’Reilly is the Right to Repair Campaign Director for the Public Interest Research Groups. He continued:
This could be a significant step forward. If Deere truly provides farmers and independent mechanics with the same repair materials that its dealers have, then we would shout our praise from the rooftops. But the [Memorandum of Understanding] contains limited enforcement mechanisms and the best aspects of this agreement could get lost in the legalese.
Right to repair is a broad issue that seeks to reign in tech company monopolies on the repair of their products. Currently only two states—New York and Colorado—have active right-to-repair laws, the latter of which is hyper-specific and only relates to powered wheelchairs. While the agreement between the Federation and John Deere is far from a law, it does offer a framework that other industries can follow to hold companies with products they rely on accountable.
