Everyone knows there is yellow and white corn, but there is also blue and red corn. All four speciality varieties are grown by Denny Hensel and his family.
The various colors of corn go into producing Harvest Pride Tortilla Chips at a new facility built in Ada's industrial park.
Hensel and his family farm 1,700 acres of beans and corn about four miles east of Ada along State Route 701. They've done this for five generations.
Ada’s newest Main Street business, Century 21 Sunway Realty, cut the ribbon during its open house on Jan. 20.
Becky Reed, broker and owner of Sunway, purchased the former Beacon Realty from Becky Neville of Ada. The office remains at 208 N. Main St., Ada. In addition, an office is at 930 E. Columbus, St., Kenton. The Kenton office number is 419-675-2333.
Ronald Zimmerly, president and CEO of Liberty National Bank, presented a $5,071.20 check to the United Way of Hardin County, on Jan. 11.
