This episode explores the growing conflict between farmers and agricultural equipment manufacturers over the right to repair their own machinery. We delve into how intellectual property laws and proprietary software limit farmers' access to repair tools and information, often creating a manufacturer monopoly. We also examine the ongoing legislative battles, industry agreements, and antitrust lawsuits that are shaping the future of agricultural technology.
