Other cast iron or wood plows (yes, they actually made wood plows!) would become covered with sticky prairie soil quickly, requiring scraping off every few hundred feet. With JOHN DEERe's plow, the prairie land's became tamable to the farmer.

How John Deere's cast-steel plow help prairie farmers?
They could now "tame the land". It was the first invention they got that allowed them to truly use the land as they wanted to.
What does the steel plow?
The steel plow breaks up tough soil without the soil getting stuck to it. JOHN DEERe invented the steel plow because farmers in the Midwest could not use the cast-iron plow because they kept breaking. The Midwest soil was unlike the Northeast soil, and the cast-iron plow was made for the Northeast farmers to use.
