约翰迪尔宣布大规模裁员，将影响其各工厂的 267 名员工。此次裁员是该公司为应对农业设备需求减少而进行的持续劳动力调整的一部分。

根据 1 月 3 日向爱荷华州劳动力发展部提交的 WARN 通知，该公司正在爱荷华州东部的 Waterloo Works 工厂裁员 112 名员工。该公司奥特姆瓦工厂还将裁员 75 人，裁员计划于 2025 年 2 月 7 日生效。此前，达文波特工厂最近裁员 80 人。自 2024 年初以来，约翰迪尔已在爱荷华州裁员 1,700 多人，主要在滑铁卢。

此前，约翰迪尔的奥特姆瓦工厂于 2024 年 12 月初暂时关闭了该工厂，此举是由于客户需求下降。该工厂现已重新开业，但该公司仍面临市场挑战。

奥特姆瓦和滑铁卢工厂生产约翰迪尔的大型农业设备。该公司已于 12 月 3 日宣布裁员，原因是需求疲软和市场艰难。

这一决定是在农业部门出现整体下滑之后做出的。根据美国农业部 (USDA) 的数据，主要行种植作物的现金收入预计将在 2024 年下降 16%，而 2023 年则下降了 8%。此外，美国农业部的预测表明，玉米、大豆和小麦等作物的销售年度平均价格将继续下跌，与 2022 年的水平相比，玉米价格下跌 37%，大豆下跌 24%，小麦下跌 37%。

约翰迪尔通过一份声明证实了裁员决定，并引用了其最新的第四季度收益报告。该公司表示：“严峻的市场条件继续导致对我们设备的需求减少，预计 2025 年的收益将比 2023 年下降 50 亿美元。”2023 年，约翰迪尔公布的收益为 101 亿美元，但由于持续的市场压力，该公司预计 2025 年的收益将大幅下降。

为了保持在全球市场的竞争力，约翰迪尔强调需要不断调整其劳动力和制造业务。该公司表示：“为了保持全球竞争力，我们必须继续根据需要对我们的制造业务进行劳动力调整。”奥特姆瓦工厂裁员 75 名生产员工是这一战略的一部分，反映了整个公司裁员的普遍趋势。

奥特姆瓦工厂的裁员是约翰迪尔整个业务部门裁员的一部分。就在一周前，即 2025 年 1 月 3 日，该公司宣布裁减滑铁卢工厂的 112 名员工和约翰迪尔达文波特工厂的 80 名员工。

尽管裁员，约翰迪尔仍然致力于在这些充满挑战的时期支持其员工。该公司专注于适应市场条件，同时保持其在全球农业设备领域的竞争地位。奥特姆瓦的劳动力调整是这一更广泛战略的一部分，约翰迪尔正在努力应对其产品需求下降的时期。

John Deere Announces Layoffs Across Facilities Amid Reduced Demand for Equipment

John Deere has announced a mass layoff that will affect 267 employees across its various facilities. The layoffs are, as part of the company's ongoing workforce adjustments in response to reduced demand for agricultural equipment.

It is implementing layoffs for 112 employees at its Waterloo Works facility in eastern Iowa, according to WARN notices filed on January 3, with Iowa Workforce Development. Another 75 are being laid off at its Ottumwa facility which is scheduled to take effect on February 7, 2025. This follows a recent layoff of 80 employees in Davenport Works. Since the beginning of 2024, John Deere has cut over 1,700 jobs in Iowa, primarily in Waterloo.

The news comes after John Deere's Ottumwa Works temporarily shut down the plant in early December 2024, a move prompted by declining customer demand. The plant has since reopened, but the company continues to face challenges in the market.

The Ottumwa and Waterloo facilities produce John Deere's larger farming equipment. The company had announced some of these layoffs on December 3, attributing them to weak demand and a difficult market.

The decision follows a broader downturn in the agricultural sector. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), major row-crop cash receipts are projected to decline by 16% in 2024, following an 8% drop in 2023. Additionally, USDA forecasts indicate that marketing-year average prices for crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat will continue to fall, with corn prices down 37%, soybeans down 24%, and wheat down 37% compared to 2022 levels.

John Deere confirmed the layoff decision through a statement, referencing its most recent fourth-quarter earnings report. "Challenging market conditions continue to result in reduced demand for our equipment, with projected earnings for 2025 down $5 billion from 2023," the company said. In 2023, John Deere reported earnings of $10.1 billion, but the company anticipates a significant drop in 2025 due to continued market pressures.

To remain competitive in the global market, John Deere emphasized the need for ongoing adjustments to its workforce and manufacturing operations. "To remain globally competitive, we must continue making workforce adjustments as needed to our manufacturing footprint," the company stated. The layoff of 75 production employees at the Ottumwa plant is part of this strategy, reflecting the broader trend of workforce reductions across the company.

This layoff at the Ottumwa plant is part of a wider series of workforce reductions across John Deere's operations. Just a week prior, on January 3, 2025, the company announced the layoff of 112 employees at its Waterloo facility and 80 employees at John Deere Davenport Works.

Despite the layoffs, John Deere has remained committed to supporting its workforce through these challenging times. The company is focused on adapting to market conditions while maintaining its competitive position in the global agricultural equipment sector. The workforce adjustments in Ottumwa are a part of this broader strategy, as John Deere navigates a period of reduced demand for its products.
