Well, I've never really researched it out myself. But I'll tell ya one thing, it makes sense on a geography stand point.
The iron ore belt being in the great lakes region. IHC being based out of Chicago. And Deere being based out of where, Iowa?
Stands to reason that any makers in the iron ore belt, primarily used iron ore instead of scrap. Probably used more iron ore than makers not in the iron ore region.
To be honest with ya, I'm not sure where Alice Chalmers was based out of. Or where Ford tractors were actually produced at. I'm not implying that IHC was the only maker within the iron ore belt, but some makers weren't within that region. And if not, it does stand to reason that they would use more scrap than iron ore.
Maybe start by researching these vessels out that the original poster is talking about. See if Deere had any of thier very own iron ore boats.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
