Pioneer Plowmaker: The Story About John Deere
Paperback
(Hobar Publications Dec. 22, 1990)
, 1 edition
In the 1800s, the moist soil of the Midwest would stick to plow blades, stopping the farmers as they plowed. Young blacksmith John Deere knew about the problem, so he designed and built a self-scouring plow. With this small start, he founded the famous farm implement company Deere & Company and started down the road to success.
