Grain Country Help for Amboy
Amboy is a classic Lee County farm hub, with a railroad-town past and flat, fertile fields that keep local grain bins busy every fall. Most families here juggle crops, livestock or a home shop alongside the rest of daily life. Midwest Agri-Com fits right into that routine. Our family business has supplied rural Illinois since 1975, and the showroom we run on Route 71 in Ottawa brings grain components, welding supplies, fireplaces and stoves together in one place. You can talk through drying capacity, pick up consumables for a repair or compare stove types for a farmhouse that needs more heat. Every conversation starts with listening and ends with a free in-store estimate.
Our Service
Supplies and Service Built for Farms
Grain is often the first priority around Amboy, so our team plans and installs unload systems, elevator legs, in-bin dryers, bin stairs and stirring machines that help you move crop safely. Shop needs come next. We carry filler rods, electrodes, welding wire, plasma cutters, torches, handles and fuel kits, along with welding equipment sales and service. When cold weather sets in, a steel, soapstone or cast iron stove fueled by pellets, corn, gas or wood gives you plenty of choices for steady heat. Fireplaces can feature a cultured stone face, brick and masonry or a wood mantel, plus tools and accessories. Design, construction, installation, inspection, maintenance, repair and restoration cover the full life of your equipment, giving you a single partner who follows through.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
How much does incoming moisture affect grain drying time in the bin?
Higher incoming moisture means more water to remove, which lengthens drying time and raises fuel use. In-bin systems work best when fill depth and airflow match the moisture level, so very wet grain may call for shallower layers or added stirring. We can help you plan fill rates and fan capacity around your typical harvest moisture.
Do soapstone stoves really hold heat longer than steel stoves?
Rods designed for deep penetration handle rust, paint and mill scale better than smoother-running rods, which makes them popular for field and implement repair. Cleaning the joint as much as possible still improves results. For finish passes on cleaner steel, a different rod may give a neater bead. We can help you stock the right mix.
