The Cast-Steel Plow
We chose our topic, the Cast-Steel Plow by John Deere because we all live or have lived on a farm in some period of time and found it would be interesting topic to learn more about the cast-steel plow. We thought that since we have used some type of plow we wanted to know more about it and how it was invented.

Also more information from Deere.com, and also facts from our American History books.
How we chose our presentation category was how all three
