“I will never put my name on a product that does not have in it the best that is in me.” - John Deere. Born in 1804 in Vermont the son of an immigrant tailor who was later lost at sea, blacksmith John Deere endured multiple business failures and personal tragedies that led him to undertake a journey to America’s expanding frontier. After establishing a new blacksmith business in Grand Detour, Illinois, Deere modified a broken saw blade to create the first commercially successful self-scouring cast-steel plow in 1837. “The Plow that Broke the Plains” revolutionized farming and turned Deere into an agricultural icon. Framed by vivid reenactments and narrated by writers and historians, the film tells the remarkable true tale of one of America’s most successful innovators. |
