Are farming equipment companies guilty of Quality Control?

Cam Edwards and Miss E discuss the politics of the Civil Eats website and how the American Legislative Exchange Council declaration of their "Opposition to Repair" bills. They explain it as, if it's is a product that you've developed, but bought from another company, they have to make sure you did not create any unauthorized repairs to the product. Miss E claims it as "Quality Control," but this unfortunately allows companies to monopolize farming equipment and tools to increase profits, but Cam does not think that it should be legal. He also thinks that the farmers as well as the equipment companies have valid arguments, when it comes to farming.
