Sales and Services
Your Partner Along the River
Fog lifts slowly off the Illinois River at Henry on autumn mornings. That moisture is part of life in a river town, and it touches everything from stored grain to the draft in your chimney. The people at Midwest Agri-Com understand those local quirks. We work with Henry homeowners who want a warmer living room and with Marshall County farmers who need dependable drying and handling systems. Our Ottawa showroom on Route 71 is a straightforward trip upriver, and once you arrive you can see fireplaces, wood and pellet stoves, drying and handling systems for grain, and welding supplies side by side. You will talk with someone who asks good questions. We recommend equipment that fits your space, your crop and your shop, then help you install and maintain it.
Our Service
Services That Cover Farm and Home
Picture the full year on a Marshall County property. Spring brings shop repairs, fall brings harvest, and winter brings long evenings by the fire. Our services follow that calendar. In the shop, you get welding supplies and equipment for spring repairs, from MIG wire and filler rods to cutting torches and plasma units, backed by welding equipment sales and service. At harvest, rely on grain handling and drying equipment such as bin stairs for safe access, stirring machines for even drying and elevator legs sized to your pit. Through the cold months, fireplace sales and installation and our wood and pellet stove lineup keep you warm, with gas and corn units also available in soapstone or heavy steel and cast iron. Planning, construction, repair, upkeep, restoration and a final inspection back up every product we sell, giving you one dependable source from planting to the first snowfall.

The Difference Experience Makes
Ask a Henry customer what matters most and you will usually hear about the personalized expert consultations. Before we recommend anything, we want to know how you store grain, what you weld and which rooms stay cold in January. Our experienced sales team can tell a stove that simply looks nice on the showroom floor from one that will actually heat your space. That judgment comes from serving customers since 1975 as a family owned business across several generations of Illinois households. Free in-store estimates keep planning simple and pressure free. Competitive pricing on quality products keeps your project affordable without cutting corners on materials. Professional service continues after the sale with inspections, maintenance and repair. Working with one accountable team for welding, grain and hearth projects keeps the process simpler and the results more dependable.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
Is a gas fireplace or wood burning fireplace better for my home?
Gas fireplaces start with a switch or remote, hold an even flame and leave nothing to sweep up afterward. Wood fireplaces bring the smell, sound and deep heat many people love, but you will stack fuel, clear ashes and keep the chimney cleaned. Weigh how often you plan to use it, where your firewood comes from and how your home can be vented.
Why should I add bin stairs instead of relying on ladders?
Many stick electrodes, especially low hydrogen types, pick up moisture from humid air, which can lead to porosity and cracking in your welds. Keep opened electrodes in a sealed container or a rod oven, and avoid leaving them in an unheated shop. River valley humidity makes this especially important. Follow the storage guidance printed on the package.
