After the feed and farm retailer issued a statement disavowing all diversity efforts, queer people who shopped there say no more.

            It’s in the name, Tractor Supply. So if you have small tractors…they supply parts for them. Lot of the stuff I see is for small operations & at a high enough price, for what it is.

            Additionally, there’s clothing, some gun stuff, hunting/fishing, animal feed, and a bunch of lawn decorations made in China.

          They generally have a lot of animal supplies, for pets, farm animals, and wildlife. Food, medicines, etc. Lemmy folks seem to really like animals.

          The one near us has a self serve dog wash. I can take my dogs and use their water, their shampoo, their towels, their dryers, and not have my bathroom covered in dog hair for $10.

      I think you are forgetting that there are a lot of hobby farms that were using TS to get their chickens and feed. Lots of gay hobby farms. These people were the profit margin for TS.

        Lots of gay hobby farms.

        I know you didn’t mean it that way but I kinda want to see what that would look like.

          You’ve never seen a gay hobby horse?

          No one ever falls out of the saddle, I don’t know why. Must all be great riders.

        They also sell rubber horse stall mats which are way cheaper to buy than actual flooring if you’re building a home gym. There are other places to get horse stall mats though.

      To be fair, that’s the case in the VAST majority of Lemmy threads…
