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.
An iron plow is made of iron, which is a softer metal compared to steel. A steel plow is made of steel, a stronger and more durable material than iron. Steel plows are generally more effective for breaking up tough or rocky soil compared to iron plows.
