Black farmers’ association calls for Tractor Supply CEO’s resignation after company cuts DEI efforts
SUMMARY
The National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) has demanded the resignation of Tractor Supply's president and CEO after the company decided to eliminate most of its corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and climate advocacy. The decision followed pressure from conservative activists opposing DEI initiatives and climate goals. John Boyd Jr., NBFA's president, criticized the move as detrimental to 'race relations', particularly in rural America, where many Black farmers rely on Tractor Supply. He pointed to a possible boycott if the company does not reverse its decision.
