The Genesis of a Revolutionary Idea

John Deere's remarkable journey commenced in 1804 in Rutland, Vermont. As a young man, he apprenticed as a blacksmith, honing his skills in metalworking and forging. In 1837, he relocated to Grand Detour, Illinois, a frontier town where his destiny intertwined with the challenges faced by local farmers.
The sticky soil of the Illinois prairie posed formidable obstacles to farmers, clogging plows and rendering them ineffective. Inspired by a broken plow brought to his blacksmith shop, Deere conceived an ingenious solution. He designed a plow with a polished, self-scouring moldboard made of high-quality steel. This revolutionary design allowed the plow to glide through the soil, shedding the sticky earth and dramatically improving plowing efficiency.
The Birth of an Agricultural Empire

Deere's self-scouring plow was an instant success, transforming the agricultural landscape of the Midwest. Farmers flocked to purchase his plows, and Deere's blacksmith shop rapidly expanded into a thriving manufacturing enterprise.
In 1848, Deere relocated his operations to Moline, Illinois, where he established the John Deere Company. The company's signature green and yellow livery, inspired by the Union Army uniforms during the Civil War, became synonymous with agricultural machinery.
Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, John Deere continued to innovate, introducing a wide range of agricultural equipment, including cultivators, harrows, and seeders. His company's unwavering commitment to quality and durability earned it a reputation for excellence.
