I'm pretty upset that much of my money is spent on consumer goods ends up financing groups with which I don't agree rather than being passed along to me in lower prices.

That stinks, but for some of us there are not a lot of alternatives. No Farm & Fleet in AZ.

I found out a couple of uears ago that Tractor Supply had assembled a group of real nut case libs on their board of directors. Never spent one penny there since.

Almost anything you buy, now, has at some point in manufacture benefited somebody or something that you don’t like.

I’ve given up on boycotts. In most cases I don’t think they’re useful (Bud Light excepted). I prefer to ‘buycott’ people who do or stand for things I DO agree with.

You can waste the rest of your life worrying about what people do with their money but it’s their right to spend it as they please. You’ll never know what most people do and don’t need to know. Same goes for what you do with your own. Your money, your decision. That’s how free societies work. Stop obsessing and get on with life. You spend money at numerous places where you have no clue how it is used.

The answer is not to shop at Tractor Supply, but rural people can't waste time boycotting or picketing.   This is an evil catch-22 and they obviously know it.

The more I see, it seems like Franklin, TN is almost like Austin, TX.

Only thing I ever bought at TSC was “horse paste” in June 2021.

Tractor Supply’s evocative Western style clothing and footwear are mostly made of polyester and in China. Anyone who sweats working outside does not want to wear polyester instead of cotton, wool or leather.

There's a Runnings that we shop, but it's over an hour away. They are family owned for over 75 years.

Their selection shames what Tractor Supply offers.

I tend to stay away from joints that don’t sell guns and ammo. I shop Murdoch’s mostly. I don’t own any tractor that I need to supply.

Forgive me for asking this since I have not gone to YouTube to check it out, but is it a proven fact before we go on a boycott by word-of-mouth? I need proof before I boycott any establishment. I boycotted target because I literally saw the pride Jotos garbage they were peddling with my own eyes at the store.

I fortunately do have Farm and Fleet, but have to say I’m sick of these people telling us where we should spend our money. It’s not like it’s going make a damn bit of difference if if I was a lib I’d say I’m offended. Your money, spend it where you like.

I’ve heard about Tractor Supply. I would avoid them like the plague.

Tractor Supply bought out Orschelns, a locally owned group of regional farm stores, a couple of years ago, but the FTC made them divest some of them, and they sold some of them to Bomgaars, an Iowa farm store company, to avoid a monopoly. Our local Orschelns is now Bomgaars, but the Orschelns 25 miles up the road is now a Tractor Supply. I’ve only been to a Tractor Supply once or twice; there’s one about 18 miles down the road, too. All of them, Orschelns, Bomgaars and Tractor Supply are very expensive. In this region (Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas), Atwoods Farm and Ranch stores are their chief competitors. They’re expensive, too, but maybe a hair less. They do a booming business. My son works there; good place to work; they treat their people well.
