On Wednesday, September 18, 2024, from noon–1:00 p.m. (ET), Center Director Ross Pifer will present “Right to Repair and Agriculture” as part of the National Agricultural Law Center’s webinar series.

From the National Agricultural Law Center: 

The nationwide movement to enact Right to Repair statutes seeks to ensure that consumers and end-users have the ability to perform routine maintenance and repairs on various technology-laden products including agricultural equipment and machinery. During the past few years, several states have enacted legislation imposing requirements upon manufacturers to make certain information and tools available to consumers. While each of these statutes is similar in general purpose, the statutes differ in their approach and scope of coverage.

In this webinar, we will focus on the current status of the Right to Repair movement as it pertains to agriculture. We will provide a broad overview of the Right to Repair topic and then discuss state legislation that has been enacted with a specific emphasis on provisions of importance to the agricultural community. We also will discuss other legal developments impacting the Right to Repair in agriculture including litigation, evolving industry standards, and the use of memoranda of understanding that aim to provide farmers with access to information and diagnostic tools.
