Senators introduce FARM Act to ensure farmers access repair tools and parts, reducing costs and downtime.
U.S.
Senators John Fetterman, Peter Welch, and Elizabeth Warren introduced the FARM Act, a bipartisan bill requiring farm equipment manufacturers to provide farmers and independent shops with access to repair parts, tools, software, and documentation.
The law aims to reduce equipment downtime and repair costs, which totaled $4.2 billion in 2023, and empowers the FTC to enforce compliance.
Supported by agricultural and consumer groups, the bill seeks to restore farmers’ autonomy, promote competition, and prevent repair delays that threaten crop schedules and farm sustainability.
A House version is led by Representatives Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Joe Neguse.
