Business commentator Rebecca Stevenson discusses the case against the agricultural giant John Deere by farming groups in the United States, fighting for the freedom to repair machinery without being locked in to using a John Deere- determined solution. She also looks at the announcement last week by the founder of the outdoor clothing company Patagonia Yvon Chouinard, that he's giving away his company to support environmental protection.
