Best Answer

JOHN DEERe was the inventor of the Steel plow. This plow was self cleaning and didn't wear as fast as the iron plow or wooden plow that farmers were using during that time. The Steel plow was also much lighter in weight to the iron plow.

In the midwest there was plenty of rich fertile black soil but it was under all the prairie grass that had grown over the years. The wooden plow wouldn't work because it had to be constantly cleaned in order to plow. The steel plow could plow the prairie grass under and self clean the moldboard so the farmer could continue without stopping.

What is the history behind the name and colors of John Deere tractors?

The John Deere tractor company takes its name from the company's founder, John Deere. Deere started his career as a blacksmith. Upon moving to the midwest, he learned that the iron plows midwestern farmers were using at the time weren't very effective in plowing the midwestern soil. He devoted his life to the continuing improvement of plow design. In 1868 he incorporated his business as Deere & Company, which is still its official name today. As far as the colors go, not even the John Deere company itself knows exactly why green and yellow became the colors of their company. According to their general student FAQ on their website, the earliest green and yellow design they have found is a Deere sulky plow from 1905.
