After graduation, Ringer began grain farming with his father. He operated a farrow to finish swine operation for 30 years and was unique in making his buildings and equipment operable for his operation.

He was also briefly involved in an Angus cattle operation with his uncle, Lewis Mullin.
Ringer has been a member of Farm Bureau, Liberty Township Advisory Board, the IUK Outreach Committee, Farmers Home Administration board and board of trustees for Delphi Community High School, where he served as president for many years.
