Just an old John Deere. - a photo on Flickriver

When the American economic bubble burst in the 1830s, John Deere headed west.

It didn’t take long for Deere to set up his blacksmithing shop in Grand Detour, Illinois. He soon realized the farmers in his community were not seeing success in the fields based on their hard work alone. Families settling the area were having trouble with the sticky prairie soil, an unexpected challenge compared to the sandy soil of their homeland. Their tried-and-true cast iron plough had to be scraped off and tended to every few feet in America’s Heartland.

Convinced a different material and shape would solve the problem, Deere found a broken steel saw blade and began crafting history. One man’s trash became Deere’s groundbreaking innovation. He reshaped the blade, paying great attention to the exact curvatures of the tool. In the dirt, it was a first-of-its-kind success. For the community it served, nothing was ever the same.
