Equipment Advice for the Windmill City
You can make smarter equipment decisions when someone explains the tradeoffs in plain language. Batavia sits on the Fox River in Kane County, known as the Windmill City and home to Fermilab, and its neighborhoods range from century-old homes near the river to newer builds on the edges of town. Midwest Agri-Com serves all of them. We handle fireplace sales and installation and offer wood and pellet stoves for homes that need steadier winter heat. Local tradespeople and hobbyists count on our welding supplies plus welding equipment sales and service. Farms in western Kane County use our grain handling and drying equipment to protect their harvest. Our Ottawa showroom on Route 71 is the place to compare options and pick up a free estimate.
Our Service
Hearth, Welding and Grain Know-How
You get equipment matched to the way you actually work and live. For the home, we build fireplaces in masonry, brick or cultured stone with wood mantels and matching accessories, and we offer pellet, corn, wood and gas stoves in steel, cast iron and soapstone. Our welding department supplies plasma cutters, fuel kits, torch handles, welding wire, filler rods and electrodes, and our service team repairs and maintains welding machines so your shop stays productive. For grain operations, count on us to design and install elevator legs, unload systems, in-bin drying, stirring machines and bin stairs. If your house dates back a century, we check the chimney and venting before recommending anything. Construction, inspection, restoration and repair services mean one experienced crew can see a project through from planning to the final walkthrough.

Why Batavia Customers Keep Returning
Batavia homeowners tend to ask good questions, and our experienced sales team enjoys answering them. Every conversation begins with personalized expert consultations about your room, your fuel preference and the jobs your shop or farm needs handled. Free in-store estimates then put clear figures in front of you, so comparing a soapstone stove to a gas fireplace remodel takes the guesswork out of the decision. Our family has been serving customers since 1975, which means you are dealing with a business that plans to be here when your equipment needs attention down the road. Pricing stays competitive on quality products across welding, grain and hearth lines, and nothing gets padded with extras you did not ask for. Professional service follows through on installation, inspection, repair and maintenance. Along the Fox River, where older homes sit near newer ones, that careful approach fits well.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
How do I size an elevator leg for my grain handling system?
An elevator leg is sized by the bushels per hour it needs to move, which should match or exceed your dryer and unloading rates. Height depends on how many bins you fill and how far grain must travel. Planning for future bins and higher harvest speeds now can save a costly upgrade later.
How often does a welding machine need professional service or maintenance?
Older homes with original windows and less insulation lose heat quickly, so they often need a stove with higher output than the square footage alone suggests. Consider ceiling height, layout and where the stove will sit. A central location helps heat spread, and sealing obvious drafts makes any stove work more efficiently.
What size wood stove does an older, drafty home need?
Older homes with original windows and less insulation lose heat quickly, so they often need a stove with higher output than the square footage alone suggests. Consider ceiling height, layout and where the stove will sit. A central location helps heat spread, and sealing obvious drafts makes any stove work more efficiently.
