John Deere has announced plans to open two new U.S. facilities in 2026, as the farm equipment giant looks to expand its domestic footprint.

According to a release from the company, the first facility will be a distribution center near Hebron, Indiana, while the other will be an excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina. The distribution center will be used to strengthen John Deere's supply chain networks in the U.S., and will add roughly 150 new jobs. The Kernersville factory will take over production for future generations of excavators that had previously been manufactured in Japan.

“Our investment in these new facilities underscores John Deere's dedication to strengthening the backbone of American industry and supporting local economies,” said John Deere CEO John May. “We believe in building America, and these projects represent our intent to continue driving innovation and job creation in the United States.“

John Deere had previously committed to invest $20 billion in U.S. manufacturing over the next decade, following a year where Trump administration tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum reportedly cost the company an estimated $600 million. John Deere also has plans to expand its Missouri remanufacturing facility, upgrade its turf equipment plant in Tennessee, and add new assembly lines to its high-horsepower tractor factory in Iowa.
