Furthermore, John Deere stated that most of the raw steel used will be sourced from within the U.S. Specific projects include new assembly lines in Waterloo, Iowa; an expansion of the Greenville factory in Tennessee; a new excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina; and substantial expansions at facilities in Moline, Illinois (60,000 square feet) and Missouri (120,000 square feet).
