Sales and Services
Built Around Cortland Living
A pellet stove sized for a newer two-story home in one of Cortland's growing subdivisions can trim your heating bill and add a cozy focal point to the family room. Cortland sits along Route 38, the old Lincoln Highway, just east of DeKalb, where new neighborhoods have grown up beside farm ground that still produces big corn and soybean crops. That blend shapes how we help you. Homeowners lean on us for fireplace sales and installation and for wood and pellet stoves, while nearby growers count on our grain handling and drying equipment. Weekend fabricators and full-time farmers alike come to us for welding supplies and equipment, plus service when a machine needs attention. The team at Midwest Agri-Com takes time to understand your space first. Visit the Ottawa showroom on Route 71 and ask for a free in-store estimate.
Our Service
Hearth, Welding and Grain Solutions
Hearth work leads the list for many Cortland households, and the choices run wider than most people expect. Pick wood, gas, corn or pellet stoves, with cast iron, steel or soapstone bodies that each release heat a little differently. Fireplace jobs range from swapping a tired mantel to full builds in brick, masonry or cultured stone, finished with tools and accessories that match. Newer homes in town are often sealed tight, so we check venting and makeup air before suggesting any unit. Out in the shop, you can pick up wire, electrodes, filler rods, torches and plasma cutters, and our service bench handles welder repairs. Growers around town lean on us for in-bin drying, elevator legs, bin stairs, stirring machines and unload systems. Design, installation, repair, maintenance and restoration cover the rest, from first sketch to the tenth season of use.

Cortland sits between open cropland and the newer neighborhoods spreading east from DeKalb, and our customers here reflect both. Some want a gas stove for a family room, while others need a bigger dryer before October. Your visit opens with a personalized expert consultation, and the questions are specific: square footage, fuel, bushels per day, the metal you weld most. Free in-store estimates follow, laid out line by line. Competitive pricing on quality products means the number reflects real value, not a markup for its own sake. Since 1975, our experienced sales team and professional service have backed installs, inspections and repairs across northern Illinois, so the help does not end at the register. This is a family owned and operated shop that would rather earn your next visit than squeeze out one sale. Expect straight answers and equipment chosen to last.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
What size pellet stove do I need for my home's square footage?
Pellet stoves are rated by heat output, and the right size depends on square footage, insulation, ceiling height and floor plan. A tight newer home may need far less output than an older, drafty house of the same size. Open layouts move heat better than closed rooms. We review your space before recommending a size.
Why does stored grain need aeration fans running after drying?
Amperage determines how thick a plasma cutter can cut cleanly. Lighter machines handle sheet metal and thin plate, while higher-amperage units cut thicker steel faster and with a cleaner edge. Think about the thickest material you cut regularly, then add some headroom. Duty cycle and input power also matter for longer cutting sessions.
How much plasma cutter amperage do I need for farm and fabrication work?
