The Association of Equipment Manufacturers says right-to-repair legislation is unnecessary. Curt Blades, AEM senior vice president of Agriculture & Forestry, says there’s a misunderstanding about right-to-repair in the age industry, “Farmers have always had and will continue to have the ability to repair their own equipment. That’s a baseline. That’s not being debated at all.”
While AEM supports that right, Blades says they are opposed to the modification of ag equipment that could impact the safety, regulatory compliance and intellectual property.
