Ruth and John Ferguson started the agency in 1956. They were joined by their son, Fred, in 1978. John died in 1995 and Jamie Hazelton, Fred's daughter, joined the agency in 1996 and remains there today.
The Hazeltons live on the 60 acre farm where the business is located, northwest of Ada. She and her husband, Chad, are the parents of six children. The family raises many kinds of farm animals.
