Tractor Supply Company issued a statement announcing that it will stop sharing data with the Human Rights Campaign; nix diversity, equity, and inclusion positions; and ditch its carbon emissions goals. The Human Rights Campaign is a pro-LGBT advocacy group.
In the statement, the company listed five points, declaring that it will:

- “Refocus our Team Member Engagement Groups on mentoring, networking and supporting the business,”
- “Further focus on rural America priorities including ag education, animal welfare, veteran causes and being a good neighbor and stop sponsoring nonbusiness activities like pride festivals and voting campaign”
- “Eliminate DEI roles and retire our current DEI goals while still ensuring a respectful environment,”
- “Withdraw our carbon emission goals and focus on our land and water conservation efforts”
