Hundreds of employees are being called back to work at John Deere facilities in Moline and East Moline.

A news release from the company said Deere plans to bring over 375 employees back to work across its Quad Cities factory operations. The company will return 150 employees to Seeding and Cylinder operations in Moline and about 225 employees to Harvester Works in East Moline. The additional workforce will help build dealer inventory before the upcoming planting and harvesting cycles, support long-term operational planning and position the company to continue serving customers through all operating environments, including future labor negotiations. The company has brought back or hired more than 800 employees across Iowa and Illinois since January.

"Planning ahead is part of our commitment to customers and our manufacturing workforce," said Dustin Lemmon, spokesperson at John Deere. "We're pleased to welcome experienced team members back to our Quad Cities operations. Their skills and craftsmanship directly support the quality equipment our farmers and contractors depend on. Our focus remains on serving customers while continuing to work constructively with our workforce and union partners."

These Blueberry Jars May Be the Smartest Thing in Your Refrigerator

A warm baked breakfast feels comforting, but making it in individual jars turns that comfort into something unusually practical. These blueberry breakfast jars combine juicy fruit with a soft, satisfying baked base, creating ready-made portions that look attractive and travel more easily than an entire casserole. The berries soften and release their sweetness as they bake, leaving colorful pockets throughout every jar. Because each serving cooks separately, everyone gets a fair share of the golden top and tender center rather than competing for the best corner of the pan. The clear jars show off the layers and blueberries, making a simple breakfast feel thoughtfully prepared. They are cozy enough for a slow weekend morning but organized enough to help on the weekdays when breakfast needs to be found, heated, and eaten before anyone is fully awake.

These Three-Ingredient Egg Bites Just Fixed Breakfast

Busy mornings do not usually leave room for a hot, protein-packed breakfast, but these three-ingredient egg bites are built for exactly that situation. They bake into individual portions with fluffy centers and lightly golden edges, delivering the satisfaction of eggs without requiring a skillet or last-minute cleanup. The short ingredient list keeps preparation quick and makes the recipe friendly to low-carb and keto eating plans. Their small size also solves the portioning problem that comes with a large breakfast casserole; everyone can take exactly what they need, and the rest remain ready for another morning. Despite the simplicity, the bites feel much more appealing than another cold snack grabbed on the way out. Warm one briefly, pour the coffee, and breakfast suddenly looks organized even when the rest of the day does not.
