TITLE: Plow
INVENTOR: John Deere
YEAR: 1865
PRINT#: D6454
Already an established blacksmith, Deere opened a shop in Illinois in 1837 which allowed him to serve as a general repairman in the village, as well as a manufacturer of small tools such as pitchforks and shovels. Even more successful than these small tools was Deere’s cast-steel plow or implement, which was pioneered in 1836. Prior to Deere’s introduction of the steel plow, most farmers used iron or wooden plows which stuck to the rich Midwestern soil and had to be cleaned very frequently. The smooth sided steel plow solved this problem, and would greatly aid migration into the American Great Plains in the 19th and early 20th century.
