    Just after reporting its earnings, the company confirmed to CNBC that
    it announced 238 layoffs across its Illinois and Iowa factories,
    adding to thousands who have been laid off over the past year. The
    company cited decreased demand and lower order volumes as the main
    factors behind the job reductions.

    I believe all or most all farm related OEMs have been cutting back
    (layoffs), and rasing prices. As such, suppliers/et.al are being
    affected too.

    Point the finger of blame to Trump....and the economy is not booming
    under Trump's tariffs. Living costs are rising under Trump, no iffs,
    ands, or butts.
