Meet Hamilton County Farm Bureau Trustee Joe Rahn

Joe has been a long-time member for 35 years! He’s also served on the board for six years. He joined the organization to meet new people involved in agriculture that share the same interests. Joe loves associating with those involved in agriculture. He has worked in the agriculture industry since he was a young boy. Joe and the family business originally grew lettuce and tomatoes and sold them through produce houses. In the 1960s, his family successfully transferred their business from a wholesale vegetable operation to a retail flower business. Joe now manages and operates the fifth generation family business, A. J. Rahn Greenhouses, which started in 1890. The greenhouse operates all year long by growing annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetable plants, mums, and poinsettias. Joe has been married to his wife, Debbie, for nearly 37 years! They have three children and five grandchildren to share their lives with. In addition, Joe graduated from Xavier University with a degree in marketing. He is a proud business manager, husband, grandpa, and Farm Bureau trustee!

Thanks for all of your dedication!

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Farm Bureau involvement
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
