John Deere is a very popular brand. The bright green color and leaping deer is unmistakable for any other equipment. Did you know that John Deere, his actual name, was a blacksmith by trade? Deere found he was making the same repairs repeatedly for the farmers on their cast iron plows, so he crafted a new kind of plow out of moldboard that would work better on the soil of the prairies.
Plow John Deere Created in 1838
The material used wasn’t the only unusual thing about the plows. Compared to others of that time, it was curved differently so the soil could be turned over easier.
He may have started off slowly only selling three plows the first year, but continually increased the following years. He continually tested and made improvements to the plows based on his own research and from advice from his customers. As he continued to grow so did his line of products which included cultivators, harrows, planters and more. After 175 years, John Deere is still going strong today. Providing many different kinds of quality products.
