Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday that a substantial number of Americans are moving out of cities, and many are headed to rural areas. "They've continued, albeit to a lesser absolute number, but net we're still seeing significant migration out of urban America, and most of that migration, or a lot of it, is going into rural America," Lawton said. Tractor Supply is a retail chain that sells equipment for home improvement, such as supplies for gardening and farming. Lawton told Cramer that the company has been dealing with business headwinds, with consumer spending trends swinging from goods to services. But he expressed optimism for the future, saying Tractor Supply can "begin to see light at the end of the tunnel now against those headwinds."

The US just experienced the warmest "meteorological winter" on record, NOAA said last week. It also led to unpredictable consumer demand, causing headaches for retailers and other businesses.

Tractor Supply will receive $72 million for the sale of some Orscheln Farm & Home stores under an agreement with the FTC. Tractor Supply said a federal regulator has approved its purchase of Orscheln Farm & Home, a smaller rival in the rural-lifestyle retail business, after a year and a half of negotiations and lobbying by state attorneys general. Tractor Supply said Tuesday it will pay $320 million for the 166 stores, the largest acquisition in the company’s history. However, it will only keep 81 stores as part of an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, which includes the sale of 12 locations to Buchheits, a small home-improvement and farm and ranch retailer, and 73 locations to Bomgaars, another small retailer in the category, said Hal Lawton , chief executive of Tractor Supply, in an interview.
