Plows were first used in ancient times in Sumeria. They have been used continuously and improved since that time. The first evidence in Sumeria was about 2500 BC.

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.
