Deere & Co. announced another round of layoffs Friday. The company notified 100 manufacturing workers in Davenport and Dubuque, Iowa, that their jobs would be cut as of April 1, reports the Des Moines Register.

According to the paper,

Deere said the "layoffs reflect the company’s ongoing efforts to balance the size of its manufacturing workforce with market demand for products at individual factories."
