A self scouring plow cleans (or scours) itself as the plow is drug through the ground
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.

A plow is used to plough. Other than that there is not much to do besides using a plow to plough. There are some bigger machines that can do things similar to the plow but the plow is the only hand tool used.

John Deere
John Deere invented the self-polishing (scouring) steel plow. This invention made it much easier for farmers to plow the loamy, sod of the Midwest. 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...
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.
