John Deere invented the cast steel plow during the 1800s. He found that a cast steel polished and correctly molboard (plow blade) could cut through the sticky clay of the midwest.
Because with steel you could make buildings.
New inventions helped farmers to meet some of the challenges of farming in the late 1800s. The steel plow invented by John Deere in 1838 and improved upon by James Oliver in 1868 sliced through the tough sod. Windmills adapted to the plains pumped water from deep wells to the surface. Barbed wire allowed farmers to fence in land and livestock. Reapers made the harvesting of crops much easier, and threshers helped farmers to separate grain or seed from straw. These inventions also made farm work more efficient. From 1860 to 1890, farmers doubled their production of wheat.
I can give you one, barbed wire. It hepled people keep their livestock from running away.
Overall the steel plow replaced the wooden plow, steel being alot stronger material than wood but it was unable to be shaped into a plow bottom until the 1800s.

The steel plow came about as the cost of steel fell and the need for more efficient farming came about. The main advantage of the steel plow is that you can plow more of a field in any given time. This makes food less labour intensive and cheaper.
