which of the following groups greatly benefited from john deeres invention?\n plantation owners in the…

Brief Explanations:

John Deere invented the steel - plow. This invention was extremely useful for farmers on the western frontier. The soil in the western frontier was tough and sticky. The steel - plow could cut through this soil much more effectively than previous wooden or iron plows. Plantation owners in the South were more focused on slave - based agriculture for cash crops like cotton and were not the main beneficiaries of the steel - plow in the same way as western farmers. Factory owners in the North were involved in manufacturing and not directly related to the agricultural innovation of the steel - plow. Traders in New England were more involved in trade and commerce rather than the specific agricultural task that the steel - plow was designed for.

farmers on the western frontier
