[Themaintainers] agricultural politics of right to repair

[Jonathan Coopersmith]

from the Farmers Bill of Rights, item 7 (

*Right to Repair*

   1. Huge corporations and their Wall Street backers have gone so far as
   to prevent local businesses and farmers from fixing their own tractors and
   equipment, forcing them to pay corporate technicians to make all repairs. A
   farmer should have the right to fix his own equipment as he or she sees fit.
