Sales and Services
A Farm Town Partner Since 1975
Fairbury is a farm hub at heart, ringed by corn and soybean ground and full of families who fix things themselves before calling for help. Our Ottawa-based crew respects that habit. We supply the parts and gear you need to keep working, and we step in for the bigger jobs like grain system installs and fireplace construction. You can stop by our Ottawa showroom on Route 71 to look over welding supplies, elevator legs, unload systems and a full lineup of wood, gas, corn and pellet stoves. Bring your questions, your measurements or a worn part, and you will leave with a clear plan and a free in-store estimate for the work ahead.
Our Service
Five Services Built for Rural Living
Your grain setup has to dry and move crop without bottlenecks. That is why we lay out bins with elevator legs sized to your dump rate, in-bin drying where it fits, stirring equipment for deeper fills, ladders replaced by bin stairs and unload systems that empty floors quickly. The welding counter stocks wire, electrodes, filler rods, torches, handles and fuel kits, and our team sells and services welding machines for farm shops and small fabricators. For the house, a fireplace can be dressed with a hand-finished mantel of wood, a cultured stone face or traditional masonry, along with tools and accessories. Stove buyers compare soapstone, steel and cast iron bodies burning wood, pellets, corn or gas. Design, installation, construction, repair, maintenance and restoration all happen through the same family owned business, so one call covers the bins, the shop and the hearth.

Our Services and products
What Sets Our Team Apart
Fairbury farm families tend to stick with businesses that prove themselves season after season, and that standard suits us well. Midwest Agri-Com is family owned and has been serving customers since 1975, long enough to watch many local operations pass from parents to kids. Each visit begins with a personalized expert consultation, so your plan reflects your acres, your shop work and the way your house holds heat. Free in-store estimates show the real figures up front. Our experienced sales team and professional service crew steer you toward what solves the problem, not toward the priciest tag on the floor. Competitive pricing on quality products keeps a new grain dryer, plasma cutter or soapstone stove within reach. Years later, when maintenance or repair comes due, you call the same people who handled the install.

your questions answered

How does bin aeration help keep stored corn in good condition?
Aeration fans push air through the grain mass to even out temperature and moisture, which slows mold and insect activity. Running fans as seasons change keeps the bin from developing hot spots or crusting near the top. We can help you match fan size and airflow to your bin diameter, grain depth and storage plans.
Should I choose a fireplace insert or a freestanding wood stove?
Most farm shop work, such as cutting quarter inch to half inch plate, is handled well by a mid-range machine around 40 to 60 amps. Thicker steel or frequent production cutting calls for higher output. Tell us the thickest metal you cut regularly and how often, and we will help you choose the right plasma cutter and consumables.
