AGCO to Temporarily Furlough Up to 900 Employees at Hesston Plant

AGCO will temporarily furlough up to 900 employees to "upgrade critical systems" at the company's Hesston, Kan., plant, according to a report from KSNW. Furloughed employees were informed about supplemental pay and retention bonuses they'll receive, the report said.

Production is expected to resume at the beginning of 2024.

In February 2021, AGCO announced the company would temporarily slow production at the Hesston plant due to "rising natural gas prices in the area." At the time, it was reported the Hesston plant had around 1,000 employees.
