Deere to recall 452 workers at Iowa plant

By DANIEL LOVERING (AP) – 15 hours ago

Farm equipment maker Deere & Co. said Wednesday it will recall most of the workers it laid off from an Iowa plant earlier this year to start production of the company's 2010 models.

Deere, based in Moline, Ill., said the 452 manufacturing employees will be recalled to its John Deere Ottumwa Works starting Nov. 30. They are expected to return to work before Deere's annual holiday shutdown, which starts Dec. 23.

But 78 other workers will remain laid off until market conditions improve enough to warrant their return, the company said.

In June, Deere said it would temporarily lay off 494 of the factory's workers due to weak demand amid the global economic slowdown. That followed a layoff of 40 employees in April.
