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.

’s 130,000 members are located. Like other farmers, he said Black farmers have shopped at the chain for years. Boyd, who is also a Tractor Supply shareholder, estimated personally spending more than $10,000 at his local store since January alone — buying supplies like fencing wire and feed for his cattle and horses in Virginia.

said it made repeated attempts to discuss its concerns with Tractor Supply President and CEO Hal Lawton before calling for his resignation. “He’s gone too far — and we have to let him know we’re not going to sit back and take this mess anymore,” Boyd said, adding that the organization may consider calling for a boycott of Tractor Supply if nothing changes in the coming days. “We’re tired of mistreated by the government and Fortune 500 companies. ...

, Tractor Supply did not consult the group on past diversity and inclusion goals or participate in the organization’s conferences. The company recently invited to apply to be a partner of Tractor Supply’s company foundation, but the organization learned on June 26 — one day before Tractor Supply’s announcement on its DEI and climate goals — that it was not among the groups selected, he said.
