It's time for John Deere to be held accountable for its abusive repair restrictions. As our co-founder Joe Maxwell told Barn Raiser, the FTC's lawsuit is critical to checking John Deere's undue power over farmers. ▶️barnraisingmedia.com/john-deere-mon…

R-CALF is highlighting what is good about the #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain report. The Health and Human Services Department released it last month, and it sparked a mixed reaction. R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard says that it shines a positive light on the U.S. beef industry. #agnews

DYK John Deere controls more than 50% of the tractor and combine markets? This means over half of U.S. farmers are locked into costly, dealer-only repairs. Deere drains their time, money, and pushes out local repair options. Learn more at our data hub: farmaction.us/agriculture-co…
