John Deere History � John Deere was born in Rutland, Vermont � Raised on a low income � At the age of seventeen, John Deere took up the trade of blacksmithing and started to notice how the new pioneer farmers struggled to turn heavy, sticky soil with cast iron plows designed for the sandy soil of New England � In 1837, John Deere created a highly polished and properly shaped plow using a broken saw blade

John Deere History � Impressed with John Deere’s plows, Leonard Andrus created a partnership with Deere in 1843 and thousands of plows were made by Deere � 1848 - Deere dissolves his partnership and then begins to sell many other farming products and more plows

Silage Facts � Silage is preserved pasture. Making silage is an important way for farmers to feed cows and sheep during times when pasture isn't good, such as the dry season. � The grasses are cut and then fermented to keep as much of the nutrients (such as sugars and proteins) as possible. � Removing and keeping out oxygen is a key part of making silage. This is because fermentation has to happen under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions, or the correct type of microorganisms won’t grow.

How Silage is Produced � First, the pasture must be cut when the grasses contain their highest nutrient levels. This is usually just before they are fully mature. This is important because all forms of preserved grass, such as hay and silage, will have lower amounts of nutrients than fresh pasture, so everything must be done to make the end product be as nutritious as possible. � The cut grass is chopped into even finer pieces and then baled
