The Continued Fight For the Right to Repair

In this episode of American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) takes a closer look at several issues affecting farmers and rural America, from major changes within the USDA to the ongoing fight over who has the right to repair modern farm equipment.

Doug examines the USDA’s restructuring and relocation of thousands of employees, what declining staff morale and departures could mean for farmers who rely on USDA programs and services, and the broader role government policy plays in agriculture.

Also in this episode: a family farm’s successful fight against eminent domain for a private gas line project, changing trends in beef-on-dairy breeding and dairy herds, and the growing legal battle over right-to-repair restrictions on farm equipment—including the costs and challenges farmers face when they can’t repair their own machinery.
