Answer: C.

The plow was affordable and was better suited to the grasslands of the Midwest.

Explanation: Why was the steel-faced plow an important invention?

It was used for farming to break up tough soil without soil getting stuck to it. It was invented by John Deere in 1837 when the Middle-West was being settled. The soil was different than that of the East and wood plows kept breaking.
