Farmers SHUT DOWN Production In U.S.

7th June 2025

Mexican border blockade targeting John Deere equipment. Over 140 tractors and harvesters were halted, labeled as "inspections," but this was no routine check—it was a deliberate strike.

Timed just before Mexico's planting season, the blockade left thousands of acres unplanted, disrupting vegetable exports critical to North America.

The roots of this rebellion trace back to a decade of farmer frustration with John Deere’s proprietary software locks, exorbitant repair costs, and dealer-only restrictions. A $50 sensor fix could cost thousands, leaving crops to wither and farms to fail.
