The Center Square [By Jon Styf] –
Two weeks after shining a light on Tractor Supply Co.’s corporate policies and sponsorships related to diversity, equity and inclusion, Robby Starbuck has taken aim at John Deere.
Starbuck, a 2022 Republican write-in candidate in Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District, posted his first set of issues with John Deere’s policies on Tuesday. His sunlight on Tractor Supply Co. drew response from the company changing policies.
Starbuck says John Deere, headquarters in Moline, Ill., is funding “pride events,” meaning those promoting homosexual activity; using preferred pronouns; and implementing diversity, equity and inclusion policies across the board in the company, including in its Latin America and India branches.”
“What’s unknown is whether CEO John May is knowingly forcing these policies or if it’s gotten out of control and he’s out of the loop on how bad it is,” Starbuck wrote. “His response to this story will be very revealing as to the culpability in the implementation of woke policies.”
The Center Square was unsuccessful obtaining comment for this story from John Deere before publication.
Starbuck said Bill Gates is listed as John Deere’s largest shareholder, the company has implemented “Genderbread man” training and that it is using the “United for Equity” program while promoting what he called “bigotry against Christians.”
The accusations come as John Deere announced large layoffs despite reported net income of nearly $2.4 billion for the second quarter of 2024, which ended April 28.
Starbuck said his post was just the beginning on the subject, which will continue with company donations, hiring practices, causes it supported, and what its executives have said in interviews.
“John Deere seems to have forgotten who their customers are,” Starbuck wrote. “Having a farm myself, I’m disgusted that a once great American brand is now taking this turn to seemingly embrace leftist policies that are diametrically opposed to the values of most farmers.”

Go get ’em Robby! So tired of all this liberal lunacy in our society today. It’s long overdue that the populace take action against this idiocy before it completely corrupts every facet of our society.
This evil perverted nonsense has got to go!! There are MANY more companies with polies just like this.
Maybe he’ll have some time to look into TRUIST also. A huge proponent of the LGBTQ etc rainbow
celebrating craziness.
I have to say I have become a convert to Robby Starbuck. When he ran for Congress I was not in support of him. All I saw was a newcomer to our state from California. I’ve been following him on X now for a few months and I’m hoping Robby will come back and run for Governor.
Besides John Deere, Robby took on the DEI policies with Tractor Supply. They have completely erased their DEI policies from the corporate organization. Watch he and his wife’s documentary on the war on children. It’s impressive.
That is something I would love to see.
If Brentwood Tractor Supply Company wants to support woke policies, that’s their business. It’s a free country. Instead of capitulating to thugs like Starbuck and his wife, the company should have fought back. Starbuck and wife are like the schoolyard bully, only worse. Only by standing up to right-wing bullies, can we stop this intimidation against free speech. One day, we will pick up the paper and learn that the Starbucks family are a bunch of pedophiles who use attacks against the LGBT community as a way to cover up their sordid misdeeds the was Gabrielle Hanson, the child-groomer, did a year ago.
I don’t need any mental help, especially from a charlatans like the Starbucks. Many of these right-wingers who have an obsession with diversity and inclusion need mental help when they allow their obsessions and hatreds to direct every aspect of their lives. I certainly don’t right-wingers or war-mongers indoctrinating my children’s or anybody else’s children to love war for war’s sake or to support blind obedience by our children to doctrinaire Republicans. As I have said before, it has been my experience that people like the Starbucks often turn out to be pedophiles like Gabrielle Hanson who groomed girls for prostitution (and did time for it), Roy Moore of Alabama, and Dennis Hastart. I warn you Republicans to stay away from our children!
Oh yes you do! And the rest of your psychopath antifa thugs. You always talk about pedo’s and prostitution. But yet you support people that are confused about their gender, drag queens, which are men dancing in front of little children and same sex attraction [homosexuality]. That actually prey on little children. Then you have the audacity to say comments like these “I certainly don’t right-wingers or war-mongers indoctrinating my children’s or anybody else’s children to love war for war’s sake or to support blind obedience by our children to doctrinaire Republicans. and this one “I warn you Republicans to stay away from our children!” You don’t have to worry about conservatives [right wing extremists in your mentally ill mind] indoctrinating your children, assuming you even have any. The Left has done a horrible job on their own teaching kids to hate everything about America. Move to any other country in the world and see what would happen to your kind. It would not be tolerated. Do some research and maybe enlighten yourself.
In case you forgot William.
Romans 1:24-32 NIV
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
In God we trust not government or man.
Have a blessed day
Thank You Chuck, our resident troll, William, ( whom I suspect is a drag queen himself ) with how he vehemently defends them…..can’t seem to understand we all KNOW he is a sexual deviant as he openly supports it……..and William, why don’t you take a flying leap into a rainbow somewhere else….oh yeah, another thing that they stole and turned into something it never should have been……rainbows.
