In a statement, the company said the workers will help \"address employee attrition, meet customer demand and build dealer inventory as part of long-term operational planning.\" The company says around 900 employees have been brought back across Iowa and Illinois since January. Earlier this month, the company announced it would bring back more than 375 employees at its Quad Cities factory operations. Between October 2023 and October 2025, Deere laid off 3,814 employees in Iowa and western Illinois. There have been no reported Deere layoffs in 2026. In late August, United Auto Workers members voted down a two-year extension to their current collective bargaining with Deere. Moline, Illinois-based Deere announced the extension offer July 7 and asked the union for a decision by midnight Aug. 31. Tim Cummings, president of UAW Local 838 in Waterloo, noted the outcome in a Facebook post. \"The members decided to turn down the proposal and go to bargaining in 2027,\" Cummings said in the post at the time. The current contract is set to expire in October 2027. Deere expressed disappointment in the outcome of the vote. Deere has invested $13.8 million in new equipment at the Waterloo Foundry, the company told The Courier earlier...",
