The steel plow


John Deere succesfully created the first commercialy owned steel plow. He made the steel plow in 1837 because of thick sod. Sod is a soil in which it is very hard to cut into. This made Farming a lot more difficult in the west. The invention of the plow helped this problem because of the steel blade that cut easier than wood and other types of plows. This was a very smart invention and was very successful.
