EXHIBIT 10.36
                                                                   -------------

                             THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE
                             TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY
                             1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN


WHEREAS, Tractor Supply Company (the "Company") maintains the Tractor Supply
Company 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board") may amend the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan to revise the provisions in Section
3.5 of the Plan regarding adjustments in connection with a recapitalization (or
other similar event) to the shares granted thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Board hereby amends the
Plan as follows:

        1.      Section 3.5 of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

        3.5 ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. The number of shares of
        Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to options under the Plan, the
        number of shares of Common Stock subject to options, unrelated stock
        appreciation rights and restricted stock awards theretofore granted
        under the Plan, and the option exercise price and appreciation base of
        options and stock appreciation rights theretofore granted under the
        Plan, shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted for any increase
        or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
        from the subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock or other
        capital adjustments, or the payment of a stock dividend after the
        effective date of the Plan, or other increase or decrease in such shares
        of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the
        Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any options to purchase Common Stock,
        unrelated stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards covering
        fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any such adjustment
        shall be eliminated, and PROVIDED further, that each incentive stock
        option granted under the Plan shall not be adjusted in a manner that
        causes such option to fail to continue to qualify as an "incentive stock
        option" within the meaning of Code Section 422. Adjustments under this
        Section 3.5 shall be made by the Committee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board has caused this Amendment to the Tractor Supply
Company 1994 Stock Option Plan to be executed by its duly authorized
representative on this 8th day of February, 2007.
