CNH Announces More Layoffs at Grand Island Plant

cnhGRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A farm implement plant in Grand Island will be eliminating the jobs of 136 more employees.

CNH Industrial America said in a news release Thursday that the indefinite layoffs result from market conditions and that they will begin in May and be finished by July.

In August the company announced layoffs of 170 full-time company staffers and 68 agency employees, and in May the company said it would cut 200 third-party agency positions.

On Friday CNH North America spokeswoman Kathleen Prause (prows) declined to tell The Associated Press how many workers still would be on the plant payroll after the 136 people are let go. She also would not say whether the plant was still producing combine harvesters and self-propelled windrowers.
