John Deere announces recent and upcoming investments and projects

John Deere has announced they are putting millions of dollars back into the company, with several expansion projects in the works. It comes after a tough year for most equipment manufacturers.

Deere will be investing around $13 million in the Reman Core Facility in Strafford, Missouri. They have also put millions into expanding facilities in Des Moines and East Moline. Their Waterloo plant has even been under construction for several years now, allowing them to build new assembly lines.

Company leaders say the projects show John Deere’s commitment to the business and local communities.
