History Fair Features John Deere!


Here is Libby at the Liberty Ridge Elementary History Fair. We now know more about John Deere than we ever cared to know, really. Actually, he didn't actually do much, other than invent the steel plow (I guess they were cast iron before that). A certain farmer Laingen would probably think it was pretty significant for our ancestors - easier to pull through the soil, or something like that. Anyway, Libby did a nice job with her speech (John Deere, in the first person...) and display board.
We're impressed that this generation is asked to do so much public speaking. It's a great skill to have, and we were never challenged with it until much later in life!
