Deere sued to block Precision Planting takeover
The U S Justice Department filed a lawsuit to stop Deere and Co from acquiring Monsanto's Precision Planting business. Deere countered that antitrust worries are misguided while Monsanto had agreed to sell in November. The department warns the deal could raise prices for farmers seeking high speed precision planting gear. Deere had just bought Monosem in February, a maker of precision planters.
