Have you ever wondered who changed the way farmers work?  John Deere, that's who!  He spent years working hard to build a successful life for his family.  First he started as a blacksmith and spent his time fixing pots, and pans, and plows.  He kept fixing plows over and over again.  Surely there could be a better way to design a plow that wouldn't break as often?  John worked and worked, tried many different designs until finally...success!
