GP: Tractor Supply has caved to pressure from conservatives and vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and stop sponsoring Pride events.
Tractor Supply had been facing the Bud Light treatment, with stocks plummeting as conservatives launched boycotts over reports that the company was funding Pride events, donating to organizations that supported “transgender” children, hosting mandatory LGBTQ training for employees, and Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton liking extremely liberal posts on X. more
Too late. I no longer go there because of that.
I wondered why after (obviously) new management came in last year that I’d never see the same people in the store.
In my store (Seguin, TX) they seem to be at the end of the supply chain and don’t have a lot of what I’m looking for anyway… except propane.
The local hardware/lumber store just closed down, so I may as well just head the extra 5 miles to HD.
Boomer management retirements promote indoctrinated, stupid Millennial board rooms.
Homosexuality is gay!
Nice words, but I think I’ll watch for deeds.
Too late. You obviously DO NOT care about either your customers OR your employees.
The only tractors they have are toy ones.
Kind of slow Learners I think.

I’m with Conservatice Cowgirl.
Rural King for me, all the way. Fuck Tractor Supply, Fuck Carhart, Fuck Tyson Foods, Fyck Budweiser, fuck all those woke asshole companies. I hope you all go bankrupt as I short your stock in my 401k!
Until they do a deep cleanse of leadership, starting with Lawton, it’s all just smoke-and-mirror words. Given the very clear makeup of their customer base, embracing all that crap was Out There beyond stupid! None of this decision-making process happened in a vacuum…the entire board of directors apparently thought they were sound business decisions. Shareholders should sue for damages, citing pernicious mismanagement.
We run a string of commercial gardens and were easily spending 10 to 15 grand (sometimes more) per year with TSC. I ‘rediscovered’ our local Consumers Supply Co-op…turns out they have all we need. Stock feed (locally sourced and processed), supplements, meds, equipment, and more. Plus, they have and deliver fuel!
I honestly can’t imagine what TSC can ever offer that will entice me back as a customer. Some self-inflicted wounds are, and should be, fatal.

The only thing TSC had going for it on Long Island was that it promptly posted a sign on the front doors welcoming all concealed carriers to the premises; now that the law was pitched as unconstitutional, I have no reason to even think of them as a company that I need to support.
I’m waiting for contrition. When I get word Lawton’s been sacked I’ll be convinced of their sincerity.
