  • Before the Civil War settlers going west skipped right over the Great Plains because the thick prairie grass was too thick and hard for iron plows to manage.
  • Blacksmith JOHN DEERe invented the steel plow which could cut through the thick sod easily. This made it possible to farm the land and therefore made the land attractive to settlers.

his tiller(or something) made it so the plains could be planted with crops- motivation for farmers to move west
