- John Deere Moldboard Plow, circa 1845 - John Deere is popularly credited with developing the first steel plow. In fact, his earliest plows, such as this, were wrought iron with a welded steel share. Deere's innovation was the highly polished surface of the moldboard, which plowed the sticky prairie soils without dirt binding up on the moldboard. True steel plows came later with improvements in steel production.
