BRENTWOOD, TN (MPG) – Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO),

the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States and the Farmer Veteran Coalition

(FVC), have awarded veteran Stephen Boals in Loomis, California, $1,000 to support

his farm, Celtic Farm LLC.

The grant is part of Tractor Supply’s $100,000 donation to FVC’s Fellowship Fund,

which provides direct assistance to veterans in their beginning years of farming or

ranching. Boals is one of 50 veterans to receive a $1,000 Tractor Supply gift card to

purchase items crucial to supporting their farm business.

“Supporting our military heroes means standing by them long after their service ends,

especially as they look for new opportunity and purpose as civilians,” said Senior Vice President, Investor Relations and Public Relations at Tractor Supply and President of the Tractor Supply Company Foundation, Mary Winn Pilkington. “FVC has proven that

agriculture is a powerful outlet, offering these men and women a meaningful new career

path alongside profound physical and psychological benefits. By stepping into farming,

these veterans also strengthen the very fabric of the rural communities we serve.

Through our longstanding partnership with FVC, we are privileged to support hundreds

of farmer veterans each year as they grow their businesses, feed their neighbors and

embark on a new adventure Out Here."

Celtic Farm LLC is a diversified, no-till, sustainable and organic flower and herb farm

selling direct-to-consumer via their website, email marketing, social media and

seasonal local sales. With these funds, Boals plans to expand production and grow into

new market channels, including farmers markets, on-farm pickup and wholesale sales

to local shops and florists. Prior to launching Celtic Farm LLC, he enlisted in the U.S.

Army where he is serving now.

This is the eighth year Tractor Supply has partnered with FVC to assist farmer veterans

from all branches of service as part of its ongoing commitment to veteran causes.

Through the joint initiative, the Company and its Foundation have donated $750,000 to

FVC since 2018, assisting more than 450 farmer veterans nationwide.

“Launching and growing a farm or ranch requires significant investment in equipment,

infrastructure and other essential resources,” said FVC Executive Director Jeanette

Lombardo. “Tractor Supply’s ongoing support of the Farmer Veteran Coalition

Fellowship Fund helps our members overcome these barriers and build sustainable

agricultural businesses. Their commitment goes beyond financial support—they truly

understand the challenges veteran farmers and ranchers face and consistently stand

alongside them as trusted partners. We’re deeply grateful for Tractor Supply’s

dedication to strengthening veteran-owned farms, rural communities and the future of

American agriculture.”

An advisory panel of agricultural industry professionals evaluates all Fellowship Fund

applicants on criteria that includes personal investment in the farm business, strength of

funding request, vision and goals for the future of their business and community

involvement. Once a recipient is selected to receive a grant, they also agree to provide

periodic progress reports, mentor other farmer veterans and demonstrate a desire to

make a continued positive impact on the farmer veteran community.

In addition to donations and the FVC grant program, Tractor Supply honors military

service members, veterans and first responders every day with the Hometown Heroes
