Hi Gary. I did find the move to Mexico is only a proposed one. Right now, thy are just cutting because sales have fallen. Let's hope that true. But in another printing, it sounded firmer.
"He said he believes John Deere sees Mexico as a cheap source of labor with the added benefit that it can import steel there for much cheaper and sell products built with that steel back to the American market".
We were lucky we were in the food processing industry. Breakfast Cereal. The filth that Mexico has in its facility's was not acceptable, no matter what the cost advantage.
