These articles note that Dubuque Works is part of a broader pattern of load-in and out across Deere’s Iowa plants as orders strengthen.[1][4]

By spring 2026, there were several announcements of more recalls across Dubuque Works and Davenport Works, as Deere cited improving customer demand and production ramp-ups in construction, forestry, and drivetrain components. Local outlets covered multiple rounds of recalls through February and April 2026, including 27 more workers in February and 21 more in April for Dubuque Works, with parallel recalls in Davenport Works and related facilities.[3][6][7]

A few mainstream outlets highlighted that these recall efforts reflect Deere’s response to growing orders and production needs rather than large-scale permanent layoffs, with prior years showing past layoffs followed by gradual recalls as demand recovered.[4][9]
