Ryan Bivens

Ryan Bivens began his journey in agriculture during high school through an FFA project, cultivating his passion for farming. By the time he graduated, he was already managing approximately 600 acres dedicated to corn, soybeans, and wheat. In 2001, armed with a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture from the University of Kentucky, Ryan decided to turn his farming dream into a full-time reality. Shortly after, he married Misty and the couple relocated to LaRue County, where they have continued to build their lives and farming legacy.

Ryan and Misty, proud parents of two boys, Cyrus (16) and Avery (13), remain dedicated to their farming operation, which has now expanded to an impressive 7,600 acres across multiple counties in central Kentucky. Throughout his life, Ryan's unwavering goal has been to establish a thriving farming business that he can eventually pass down to and share with his sons. The Bivens family is an integral part of the community, actively engaged in Parkway Baptist Church in Hodgenville, where Misty also serves as a high school Agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. Their commitment to family, faith, and farming reflects Ryan's deep-rooted values that he hopes to bring to public service.

Ryan is a rock-solid conservative who will never back down to the Frankfort liberals. He supports eliminating the state income tax, is pro-life and pro-Second Amendment, and he'll be tough on crime and always back the blue. As a career farmer, Ryan will also stand up for our agriculture community as our state representative.
