Deere is recalling and hiring workers across its Midwest manufacturing facilities, with roughly 1,000 callbacks since 2024. Separate reporting says the company has recalled more than 275 laid-off employees and plans to hire over 400 new workers ahead of United Auto Workers contract talks. Deere is increasing production rates at construction factories to build dealer inventory despite mixed equipment demand. The staffing changes follow earlier job cuts and signal a shift in workforce plans before negotiations.
