1. The Plow Marker
Inscription. Plowing was typically a two-person job. One would guide the plow, while the other would scrape soil build-up that stuck to the plow (every 10 to 15 feet).

It wasn't until 1837 when John Deere introduced his self-scouring steel plow, that the problem inherent with the cast iron plows went away (freeing the one to do other tasks required for the homestead).
