John Deere the company would not have been possible without the determination of John Deere the man. From the time he created the first steel plow in 1837, Deere worked hard. He was committed to helping farmers handle their daily tasks with ease.

Demand for these plows increased. Deere moved the business from Grand Detour to Moline, IL in 1848. He chose this new location due to the power and transportation benefits it offered. 

Iowa isn’t just farmland, it is made up of beautiful rolling hills and lots of state parks and lakes.

  1. Ah, John Deere, I competed against them day in and day out for 31+ years. The quiet secret is we actually liked our fellow Illinois construction/implement company and I had the privilege of talking to their IT organization on several occasions. You just won’t see me wearing that green shade ha.

  2. Very informative. One always wonders why so many simply keep using what they have or doing what everyone else does until someone decides to make improvements with new knowledge and new and better inventions and then everyone eventually catches up. This was the mark of a society on the rise. Thanks Sandra

    1. You are very welcome RJ, I find it fascinating how people invent things, especially motors. How woman used to do laundry by hand, scrubbing cloths on those wash boards. Then someone came up with a machine that made their lives so much easier.

Love to Hear from You
