This is a name that most people think of when they think of agriculture, along with the saying, "It runs like a Deere." But, do most people know that the company started with one small plow created by the average blacksmith?
In 1837, John Deere from Grand Detour, Illinois invented a polished-steel plow in his blacksmith shop that helped pioneer farmers cut clean furrows in their tough prairie fields.
Deere, having experience crafting hayforks, horseshoes, and other necessary items for living on the prairie, he was able to continue crafting the “plow that started it all.”
It all began with a broken steel sawmill blade which sparked into more revolutionary ideas centering around plows. This forged the way for more products, company logos, and an established foot in the agriculture equipment market.
