Let’s clear the air. John Deere is not shutting down U.S. manufacturing. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.

We’re making a bold move by investing $20 billion into U.S. manufacturing over the next 10 years. That’s a powerful signal of our long-term commitment to building and growing right here at home.

“Our commitment to delivering value for our customers includes ongoing investment in advanced products, solutions, and manufacturing capabilities,” said John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere.

“Over the next decade, we will continue to make significant investments in our core U.S. market. This underscores our dedication to innovation and growth while staying cost-competitive in a global market.”

Built in America since 1837

Today, more than 30,000 John Deere employees across 60 factory and office locations in over 16 states are designing, building, and delivering equipment solutions for farmers, ranchers, construction crews, landscapers, and more. We’ve been building in America since 1837—and we’re just getting started.
