"It's a lot of work, but I'm so much calmer now than I ever was. I don't have any pressures. You truly work for yourself on a farm," says Braun, 64, who bought a cattle farm outside Falmouth in 2000, while anchoring Cincinnati's top-rated newscast with Kit Andrews and meteorologist Tim Hedrick. Rob and wife Jennifer sold their Madeira house and moved to the cattle farm permanently after he left Channel 12 when his contract expired on June 30, 2019.

Braun greets us wearing a white cowboy hat and muddy boots at his grain farm, a second Pendleton County tract along the Licking River he bought eight years ago. The Red Russian kale, lettuce salad mix, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, red green butterhead lettuce, radishes, garlic and other produce they grow with son Robert, and his wife Lindsey, are sold on weekends by the family at Findlay Market.
