Last week we went on our summer factory tour trip. We got on a Hawkeye Stages bus on Wednesday morning and headed for Dubuque. We toured John Deere Dubuque Works and watched them build logging equipment, dozers and skidloaders. From Dubuque we went to John Deere Davenport Works and then to the Pavilion. We had a little hotel mix up but John Deere arranged accommodations at The Isle of Capri for a “little” rest. On Thursday it was off to Harvester Works to see combines and header equipment being built. We then ventured to Corporate Headquarters for a little history and new equipment on the showroom floor. Overall it was a great opportunity to learn about manufacturing processes and a little “Deere” history.
Thanks John Deere and NICC.
