A Year After Driving to DC, Farmer Eyes Tractorcade 2.0

Will DellaCamera drove his John Deere tractor from his Connecticut farm to Washington, D.C., in September 2024 to advocate for small farmers. He received a warm welcome, met with key officials and helped facilitate a funding package for small farmers. But a year after his epic ride, he’s not happy with the federal follow-through on his concerns. “Something that should have been straightforward and easy and done with by now is a disastrous mess,” he said, adding that he’s lost trust in USDA and its programs.
