Colorado pioneers 'right to repair' for farmers.

TL;DR Summary
Colorado has become the first state to pass a "right to repair" law for farmers, which requires manufacturers to provide manuals, tools, parts, and software to farmers to fix their own equipment. The law was signed by Governor Jared Polis and has been introduced in at least 10 other states. Manufacturers and dealerships have raised concerns about operator safety and the environment, but proponents argue that farmers are already able to tinker with their machines and doing so would remain illegal. The law falls into the broader "right to repair" campaign, which has picked up steam across the country.
