John Deere Commits $20 Billion in U.S. Investment Over the Next Decade

Deere & Company is making a massive bet on American manufacturing. During its Q2 2025 earnings call, the company announced a $20 billion commitment to U.S. operations over the next 10 years. This long-term pledge includes new factories, facility expansions, workforce development and deeper investment in local communities. The goal: Strengthen domestic manufacturing and support the evolving demands of construction, agriculture and turf equipment markets. This isn’t a new move for Deere — it’s just scaling up. Since 2019, John Deere has invested $2.5 billion in U.S. factories and funneled $80 billion into domestic supplier networks. The company currently operates 60 facilities across more than 16 states. In 2025 alone, Deere has committed $100 million to American factory investments.

Investing in Innovation and Efficiency

John Deere isn’t just building more factories — it’s building smarter ones. The company continues to integrate advanced automation, robotics, precision testing and ergonomic production lines across its U.S. facilities. These updates improve safety, speed up manufacturing and help Deere meet strict quality standards. They also future-proof operations for electrification, autonomy and connected machine technologies.

For Compact Equipment readers, these investments matter. New excavator lines, upgraded turf and tractor plants and smarter production lines mean more machines designed, built and supported in the United States — and tailored for the contractors, landscapers and rental houses who rely on them. We’ll continue to monitor Deere’s progress as it reshapes its American manufacturing footprint.
