Deere & Co says it’s relocating tractor cab production to Mexico by 2024 because of labor challenges and the need for new product development.
In a statement to Brownfield, the company says bringing new product programs to its Waterloo, Iowa, plant makes it necessary to consolidate production for more floor space while balancing a tight labor market.
Deere has declined to say what kind of new products will be produced at the plant but estimates about 250 jobs will be impacted.
