Black farmers’ association calls for Tractor Supply CEO’s resignation after company cuts DEI efforts

NEW YORK (AP) — The National Black Farmers Association called on Tractor Supply’s president and CEO Tuesday to step down after the rural retailer announced that it would drop most of its corporate diversity and climate advocacy efforts.

 

The resignation demand emerged as Tractor Supply, which sells products ranging from farming equipment to pet supplies, faces a deepening backlash over its decision, which itself came after conservative activists spoke out against the company’s work to be more socially inclusive and to curb climate change.

 

In a public announcement last week, the company said it would eliminate all of its diversity, equity and inclusion roles, end sponsorships of “nonbusiness activities” like Pride festivals, and withdraw its goals for reducing carbon emissions. Critics of the new position argue that Tractor Supply is giving in to hate and harming its customers by abandoning crucial principles.

 

“I was appalled by the decision,” John Boyd Jr., president and founder of the National Black Farmers Association, said in an interview. “I see this as rolling back the clock with race relations — because the country is so divided on race, especially in rural America.”

 

Tractor Supply declined to comment further when reached on Tuesday.

I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.

How Democrats are already lining up a Kamala running mate - and calling the White House 'Weekend at Bernie's' after startling claims about who's running the show

President Joe Biden is heading into a make-or-break weekend as his campaign teeters on the edge of collapse with elected officials in his own party expressing grave concerns about his ability to run for an other four years - and whether he should - after his disastrous debate against former President Donald Trump exposed concerns about his physical and mental fitness for the job.

 

The president is scheduled to campaign in Wisconsin today and sit for an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that will air as a prime-time special at 8 p.m.
