The Toro Company has announced plans to layoff 235 people from their Tomah location.
They do hope to rehire them in the future.
"These are extraordinary times with conditions we haven't seen in decades," said Toro vice president Sandy Meurlot.
The company has offered voluntary retirement, froze hiring, eliminated seasonal hiring and all overtime in effort to stave off the layoffs.
Currently, about 650 people work at the plant, which makes turf maintenance equipment for golf courses, sports fields and other properties.
