Cody and Jessica aren't the first Grills to win the Achievement Award and receive a tractor. Cody's oldest brother Rusty came in second in the contest many years ago. And his older brother Hunter won in 2020 being third in their family to do well with this award is something Cody and Jessica take a lot of pride in.
Cody Grills
I'm a ninth generation farmer and now I'm a third generation Achievement Award winner so hopefully that I'll happen with our son be a fourth generation Achievement Award winner in the future. So yeah, it's nice to have that legacy in our family, and we hope to continue on for many years.
