Iowa State Fair Grand Champion

Upper Iowa University senior ag business major Parker Kray won the Iowa State Fair Grand Champion prize for restoring a 1969 Farmall 856. A pitcher on the Peacock baseball team, Kray is pictured driving his award-winning entry in the State Fair’s recent Grand Champion Parade. The Monticello, Iowa, native was also awarded the Iowa State Fair Grand Champion trophy in 2014 for restoring a 1963 Farmall 806. Additional information about Kray and his tractor restoration projects will be posted to Bridge Online in the near future.
