The moist soil
of the Midwest stopped any plow used by sticking to the blade. The
farmers thought a plow that could clean itself just couldn't be
made. John Deere, the young blacksmith, had not let impossibility
and disaster stop him before, and he wasn't about to now. Deere
built a self-scouring plow, and with this small start, he founded
the famous farm implement company-Deere & Company. This lively and
accurate text presents this hardworking, idealistic man whose steel
plow opened up some of the world's richest farmland. A story sure
to inspire any reader.
