Equipment and Heat for Magnolia
Cold air settles hard over the farm ground of southern Putnam County each winter. If you live in or around Magnolia, you know a reliable heat source and a working grain system are not luxuries. Our Ottawa-based crew at Midwest Agri-Com helps rural families handle both. We sell and install fireplaces and wood and pellet stoves, supply grain handling and drying equipment, and keep welding supplies on hand for every kind of shop repair. Our showroom on Route 71 gives you room to compare stove finishes, look over welding wire and electrodes, and talk through dryer options in one stop. You get advice from people who listen first. Tell us about your home, your bins and your shop, and we will point you toward equipment that makes sense.
Our Service
Hearth, Harvest and Shop Services
Your farmhouse chimney, your grain leg and your welding bench each need a different kind of expertise. We bring all three together. On the hearth side, fireplace sales and installation can mean a classic brick firebox, a stone veneer wall or a simple timber mantel, finished with the tools and accessories you use every evening. Stove buyers can pick pellet, corn, gas or wood fuel in soapstone, cast iron or steel. When harvest arrives, you can source elevator legs, in-bin drying equipment and bin stairs that make inspection safer. For metalwork, we carry handles, tips, fuel kits, filler rods and welding wire, and our welding equipment sales and service team keeps machines dependable. Beyond products, we provide design, construction, installation, repair, maintenance and restoration, along with careful inspection, so you get the full picture rather than a box and a receipt.

Does my wood stove need a stainless steel chimney liner installed?
Plenty of farmhouse chimneys in this area predate today's stoves. Cracked clay tiles or a flue that is too large can weaken draft and let creosote collect. Running stainless pipe down the old flue, matched to the stove's collar diameter, gives exhaust a clean, safe route up and out. Have the chimney inspected and the flue measured before you hook up a new stove.
How do I choose the right elevator leg capacity for my bins?
Brazing usually calls for bronze or brass filler rods paired with the right flux, which lets you join steel, cast iron and dissimilar metals without melting the base material. Flux-coated rods save a step for quick shop repairs. Choose rod diameter based on joint size, and clean the surfaces well so the filler flows and bonds properly.
