Ryan Britt is a fifth-generation farmer who with his father, brother-in-law and the support of their families, is striving to produce corn, soybeans, wheat, hay and cow-calf to finished beef through practices which incorporate the use of technology and innovative partnerships to maximize efficiency and sustainability.
While the work of crop and livestock production can be demanding, Ryan also sees the importance of serving the agricultural community through boards, associations and committees. He values improvement, and he desires to see all areas of agriculture succeed and flourish. With this attitude and mindset, Ryan has appreciated the opportunities he has had serving on such boards as the Randolph County Soil and Water Conservation District; Randolph County Farm Bureau; Missouri Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts; National Association of Conservation Districts; Paseo Biofuels, LLC; and the Randolph County Cattlemen’s Association. He is also the operator for the Chariton County cover crop demonstration farm.
Ryan and his wife Rebecca enjoy raising their three children, Lydea, Luke and Lynelle on the family farm near Thomas Hill Lake. Ryan appreciates the call to serve others through his position as a deacon in their local church body and across the nation through the Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief. The Britt family also enjoy attending football and basketball games at Ryan and Rebecca’s alma mater, Mizzou.
