Yea you are absolutely right, Quality Fsrm and Fleet was so much more of a farm supply store. I grew up just a dozen miles from the original Farm and Fleet in North Muskegon,MI. In fact in my high school days, the local FFA chapter was involved in a lot of corporate management scenarios for Quality. The last couple years in business, Quality bought out Central tractor, which if anyone had the priviledge to see a CT store, that was a tractor supply store for sure. It was really sad to see when the 2 Hill brothers retired from Quality F and F management and the board made some bad expansion plans. It really hurt the economy in the Muskegon area.
I agree TSC is very limited, even in the hardware dept. I have went to a few stores down in Nortern Indiana area and they don't carry any dairy supplies, while local Michigan stores do some. I emailed TSC corp and asked some questions and was basically told that TSC only carried 10% of the stock that Quality had available. Guess even a good farm supply store has gone the Walmart way. If it wasn't for the 2 feedmills, Deere dealer a mile away and TSC, farming would be a lot more challenging.
