A former farmer named Akmal Mamarahimov, who had previously bought his initial combine harvester from the American engineering company John Deere in 2007, has embarked on supplying diverse agricultural equipment to Uzbekistan.
The origins of the John Deere corporation trace back to the nineteenth century during the colonization of the American Midwest. At that time, economic challenges led the young blacksmith John Deere to relocate and settle in Illinois. Shortly after the move, he established his own forge, benefiting from high demand for his work.
Constant collaboration with farmers and a deep understanding of their daily challenges motivated Mr. Deere to invent a plow capable of self-cleaning from soil. In 1837, he created a cast-steel plow designed for sticky prairie soils, exhibiting unique features and high reliability. This marked the inception of John Deere’s production of custom farming equipment.
The company thrived, officially incorporating in 1868. John Deere’s son, Charles Deere, played a pivotal role in the company’s growth, becoming its vice president and later its second president. Charles expanded the company through numerous branches and a vast dealer network, uniting six companies under «Deere and Company,» significantly diversifying its product range.
As the 19th century came to a close, the shift from horses to tractors became inevitable. By 1914, John Deere developed its own tractor model, acquired a tractor factory in 1918, and eventually emerged as a leading manufacturer of tractors and diesel engines.
