Why was the steel plow invented?
Prior to the Steel (or iron) Plow, plows were made of wood. If you hit a buried rock, or even a large root, you could break the plow's blade. Thomas Jefferson was the first to work out the exact proper angle of the mouldboard of a plow, (the curved part of the plow that turns the soil) Charles Newbold acquired a patent in 1797 for the first cast iron plow. David Peacock followed in 1807 with a couple similar designs that resulted in a successful patent infringement suit by Newbold against him. Blacksmith Jethro Wood acquired patents for two (three-part) cast iron plows in 1814 and 1819 that revolutionized the industry, making interchangeable parts a reality. The first self-polishing steel plow, the Grasshopper Plow, was invented by John Deere in 1837. This made tilling prairie land finally possible.

A self scouring plow cleans (or scours) itself as the plow is drug through the ground
How did the need for new farming techniques on the Great Plains result in something newly done in agriculture?
The tough soil and very sticky sod of the Great Plains required an innovation in plow technology. The steel plow, of course, was well known, but John Deere developed one that was self scouring. This allowed more efficient plowing since the clay laden soil did not stick to the plow.
How can identify Mild steel and stainless steel?
steel it self means the carbon percentage and according to which we have to specify them. mild steel contain low C% nearly 0.3-0.6% is called mild steel. stainless steel having higher C%&Cr is added to not corde
What is self-passivating steel?
Passivation is removing the free iron and other exogenous materials from the surface so that a good passive layer can be formed. In the case of carbon steel, this is not possible. After cleaning with a good cleaner, there are a variety of coatings that can be used for carbon steel to provide a corrosion resistant layer, but passivation is not the correct process. For details see the link in the left column.

John Deere was also a blacksmith by trade and had a very inventive mind. John Deere the company has invented many products over the years, varying from cotton picking machines to GreenStar GPS systems. For the 'rest of the story' see the related link...
Why was John Deere important to midwestern farmers?
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.

Why did john deere invent the steel plow?
I hate to tell you this but John Deere did not invent the first steel plow but he invented the first sucessful polished steel plow to help farmers in the Midwest plow the sticky, gumbo-like soil. He invented the first self polishing steel plow. He saw how farmers in the Midwest were having a hard time plowing the ground because evrey 10-15 feet they would have to stop and scrape off the plow bottom which had become plugged with sticky, gumbo-like soil. He experiemtned with a polished steel saw blade and found the answer to all the farmers' problems.

Was there any bad effects of the steel plow?
The cast-iron plows used in the eastern US were designed for light, sandy soil. The rich Midwestern soil clung to the plow bottoms and every few steps it was necessary to scrape the soil from the plow. The steel plows were able to work the soil, leading to more successful farming settlements in the midwest.
