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.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
