I stopped shopping there when the chicken feed they were selling was causing chickens to stop laying. I don't even have chickens!
Same. Started buying my catfish food and hydraulic oil at a local farm supply.
Support your local Mom & Pop Ag store!
I've got a nice rule of thumb when deciding if a company is probably 'woke' or not: if you get there on a 4-lane (or more) road, and there's plenty of parking, and you've seen an ad for the company outside of your local newspaper... then they're probably captured by globohomo. Almost every. single. company. that you find out in the 'sprawl' is a globohomo company.
Find a nice mom and pop shop in the old part of your town, where you have to park a block or two away. That's probably not a woke company.
damn, i have been wondering why my chickens quit laying.
Damn...that's my pharmacy
Local ag/ feed store has what you need. Cheaper too.
No organic feed, though... Have to drive 45 min reach easy during work hours, this sucks
Name checks out.
Send letters to the board. Fire the CEO or get Bud Lited on steroids.
Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck It’s time to expose Tractor Supply.
It’s one of the most beloved brands in 🇺🇸 by conservatives but what do they REALLY stand for under CEO @hallawton’s leadership?
• LGBTQIA+ training for employees • Funding pride/drag events • They have a DEI Council • Funding sex changes • Climate change activism • Pride month decorations in the office • DEI hiring practices • LGBTQIA+ events at work
Hal also liked posts attacking unvaccinated people and @AllisonW_Sports when she left ESPN over the COVID vaccine. Let’s just say those likes make it appear he’s NOT fond of people who chose to skip the vaccine.
I take no pleasure in bringing this all to light. I’m a Tennessean who loves to support TN companies but as a proud Tennessean I know these woke priorities don’t align with our state or @TractorSupply ’s customer base.
We must make our voices heard. Hal Lawton needs to understand that we don’t want our hard earned money spent on these woke priorities. If he supports this stuff then he should spend some of his $11M salary or tens of millions in stock on it instead of using the money we spend at Tractor Supply.
The kind of sex you like is not an appropriate topic for work. Events built around the kind of sex people like to have should not have kids at them and should not be funded with the money we spend at Tractor Supply.
If you’re as disturbed by what you learn in this video as I am, here’s what you can do:
• Don’t take it out on your local store — the vast majority of them are conservative and hate that corporate is pushing this on them.
• Email/Call corporate to respectfully state your position as a customer after learning this information. Let them know where you stand. Here’s their corporate office number that’s listed publicly: (615) 440-4600 — here is their executive team if you’d like to write them or leave them a message at the corporate number. Again, please be respectful: https://ir.tractorsupply.com/investor-relations/governance/executive-management/default.aspx — If anyone has more info on contacting them at publicly available emails, please reply in the comments but no doxxing private info, it violates X rules and it’s not right.
• Start buying what you can from other places until Tractor Supply makes REAL changes and shows that they respect the majority of their customers enough to not spend the money we give them on causes we’re deeply opposed to. As someone with a farm, I know this isn’t easy but if we don’t show them who their customers are then they’ll just keep doing this.
Lastly I want to thank those who’ve reached out to me in distress about the direction of the company. This post is for all the workers who wish they could speak out but fear losing their jobs.
That isn’t a very inclusive culture @hallawton. I think you need to get out of the Brentwood office and ask local customers how they feel about DEI/LGBTQIA+ trainings and how they feel about Tractor Supply funding pride events. I think you’ll find very quickly that you’re on the wrong side of this issue.
I’m happy to discuss privately one on one as a voice for those people anytime you want off camera or on camera. That’s up to you. If you still feel strongly this is the direction you want to take Tractor Supply then I hope you at least say so publicly so all of your customers know where TSC stands.
One last thing: Why are you hiding your sponsorship of pride events on Tractor Supply’s website where you proudly display events/orgs that TSC gives $$ to? Don’t want customers to know that’s where their money’s going?
Time to Bud Light these sick fucks.
Could it be that the deep state is putting in woke management so that we put the whole company out of business? All the great people employed by Tractor Supply aren't woke.
We need to stop doing this.... We're giving the deep state just what they want
Exactly. Tractor supply is just like Walmart and now we have proof. They come into an area and put local farm stores out of business. We are stupid and shop there anyway. Then we are surprised that they actually hate us and just want to extract all the wealth from us they can, while pushing diversity and gay shit on rural communities. Fuck tractor supply I will never shop there again ever
It’s what happened at bud light , all those American workers lost their jobs and the beers that were bought instead were still in the bud light company
Not exactly. How many local beers did well and hired people but you just don’t hear about it. Plus if you’re stupid enough to switcher to another bud light brand and think you’re doing something then YOU are the problem for being a dipshit
I don’t drink Bud , but most people bought other beer that AB made . So yes , bud light took a hit , but their other brands went up in sale . We have to make a stand , unfortunately I don’t have A tractor supply near me , in San Diego , I support Mary’s tac and feed a locally family owned place . I hope the company gets rid of the CEO and the local people supporting their kids don’t lose their jobs . It said that prick makes millions a year . Fkn disgrace !
Lmao talk about a brand not knowing its customer base.
They know their base, which is why they are targeting them. We see a lot of this sodomite pride, groomers story hour and etc.. targeting conservative communities specifically. There is no way this is not a cohencidence.
THAT is for sure!!

"ESG IS A UNITED NATIONS INITIATIVE, first coined in 2004 by the United Nations Global Compact"
Q: How did BlackRock make ESG the hottest ticket?
A: The story of how ESGU became a record-breaking fund and the poster child for the boom in ESG investing began with two letters published on Jan. 14, 2020, by BlackRock and Fink. In one, Fink warned the CEOs of global companies that they were facing a potential time bomb as investors awoke to the climate crisis.
Q: Who is enforcing ESG?
A: The SEC is currently utilizing antifraud, reporting, and internal controls provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), as well as various related rules, to bring ESG-related enforcement actions. (Aug 10, 2023)

Companies included in the index have earned a score at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies. This reference index measures gender equality across five pillars: female leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies and pro-women brand.
Tractor Supply is one of only 418 companies included in the index and one of 31 companies included in the index’s consumer discretionary category.

Buy from local co- op
Rural King is a better store, anyway. (In my opinion)
RK is the best! Their RK brand jeans are great for very little money.
Agreed! I used to buy Carhartt. RK holds up just as well, for way less.
Well, fuck them. I was going to stop by Saturday for a new pair of muck boots because they’re cheaper than my local Farmers Coop. Guess I will spend the extra money hwere I’m appreciated and I’ve never seen a rainbow fag, errr, flag there.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
STOCK UP ON IVERMECTIN!!
Stop buying paste use frontline doctors for human medicine
Its the same molecule and much cheaper, you just have to understand dosages, in general, dr is better, but better to have paste than nothing.
True. But the pills are cheaper I’ve found than the paste
Oh! could be true these days, I bought pills a few years ago
Nope... bee taking it as a preventive for years... never felt better. Never took jab either
