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

That’s the sad part of this day and age.
The simplest solution would be to go local. Try to find a mom-and-pop owned local feed and tractor supply.
The problem is that the corporate behemoths used the walmart method of moving in near where-ever the competition is and drove them out with chain subsidized low prices.
Everything is corporate/chain owned these days, and amazon is killing the brick and mortar stores as badly as the brick and morter chain stores killed the local shops.
There’s no way to know where these leftist board members and execs are directing their money, and even when you do know, you are stuck without alternatives.
Rural King is the way to go.
Not the “big company drives out the local” stuff again.
I grew up in a town of 2500. When Walmart moved in and not one local business it competed with went under. Not a one.
“There’s no way to know where these leftist board members and execs are directing their money”
Certainly you can when they’re publicly traded.
Thanks for the suggestion. We have a local mom-and-pop feed and tractor supply right across the highway from us. They have limited, and unpredictable, hours, but I’m definitely going to take all the business I can to them.
