Juho Jännes

Jännes was born in Hämeenlinna, the son of professor and senator Arvid Genetz and Julia Arppe.

When the Finnish Federation of Agricultural Producers was founded in 1917, Jännes was elected as the first chairman of the delegation.

At the start of the Finnish Foreign Service, Jännes was appointed to the 1918 Delegation Counselor and the Chairman of the Trade Commission in Berlin.

President K. J. Ståhlberg fired him after the arms trade deals between Finnish Ministry of War and Germany which had generated an encrypted scandal.

After returning to Finland, Jännes founded a gardening and seedling store in the mansion of Ahtiala.

After the war, Agricultural Producers' Union and Jännes in its leadership were reluctant to surrender finished fields to the Karelian refugees.

After the war, the membership of the Agricultural Producers' Union expanded considerably and the operation became more brisk.
