Deere settled in Grand Detour Illinois and after a failed partnership with Leonard Andrus who opposed having a railroad built through Grand Detour, Deere moved his operation to Moline Illinois where the company still does it's major manufacturing. Deere, BTW, was from Vermont originally. John Deere's patent for the self cleaning (self-polishing) plow was filed in 1837. 4 years before that, a man named John Lane patented another version of that device and made them in his blacksmith shop near Lockport Illinois. (I once was considering building a house across the street from where that took place.) John Lane's son, John Jr patented several innovations regarding plows as early as 1844 including what was called the "soft centered" plow which used high tensile steel backed by softer more forgiving iron to make breakage less likely. Similar devices came from New York as early as 1807. Thomas Jefferson did the calculations to determine the correct curve of a plow blade to allow maximum self cleaning and minimal drag as the device cut through sod, but he had more important things to worry about and so did not patent any agricultural implements. It was the dense sod of the Midwest that held up settlement of much of the farming areas we know today and the self polishing/self cleaning plow is what made that possible. International Harvester (now Case IH) began when Cyrus McCormick patented his horse drawn reaper in 1834 (Cyrus was from Virginia at the time) after demonstrating it as early as 1831. He and his brother moved to Chicago in 1847 and began manufacturing farm machinery which was shipped via the newly built railroads to all parts of the country. McCormick died leaving the company to his son, Cyrus Jr. McCormick Manufacturing merged with Milwaukee (Wisconsin), Plano (Illinois) and the makers of Champion equipment to form IH which bought the Parlin and Orendorff factory in Canton, Illinois in 1919. Yankees built the first modern agricultural tools. Before that, agricultural machines had been pretty much unchanged since Roman times. Just thought I'd mention it...
