Serving Manteno From Ottawa
Commuters heading up I-57 each morning and farmers waiting on harvest weather both call Manteno home, and each group shows up at our counter with different questions. Families in newer homes on the edges of town often want a fireplace or insert that adds warmth without a lot of upkeep. Longtime residents in older farmhouses may be ready to swap a drafty open hearth for a cast iron or soapstone stove. On the surrounding Kankakee County acres, grain drying capacity and reliable unload systems carry real weight come October. Midwest Agri-Com serves every one of those needs, offering grain drying and handling systems, welding supplies with machine sales and service, fireplaces with professional installation, and stoves fueled by wood or pellets. You can compare it all at our Route 71 showroom in Ottawa.
Our Service
From Grain Bins to Fireplaces
Spring planting and fall harvest put very different demands on a Manteno farm, and our grain department plans for both. Bin stairs, elevator legs, in-bin drying setups, stirring machines and unload systems are designed, installed and maintained so your storage keeps pace with your yields. Repairs during the busy season lean on the welding side, where plasma cutters and torches sit alongside filler rods, electrodes, spools of wire, handles and fuel kits, with sales and service on welders too. Once the crops are in, attention turns indoors. Fireplaces can be finished in cultured stone, brick, masonry or a wood mantel, with matching tools and accessories, and our stoves run on wood, gas, corn or pellets in cast iron, steel or soapstone bodies. Installation, inspection, restoration and repair work are all handled by the same crew.

How do I figure out how much grain drying capacity I need?
Look at how many bushels your combine brings in on a typical day and how wet that corn usually comes off the field. Your dryer should finish each day's grain before the next load arrives, so nothing sits wet. Bin size, fuel type and how quickly you need to haul out also steer the choice between in-bin and continuous drying.
Should I use flux-core or solid wire with gas for my welder?
A corn stove can make good sense if you have easy access to clean, dry shelled corn. It burns hot and steady, much like a pellet stove, and some models handle both fuels. You will need a dry spot to store fuel and the habit of clearing ash and clinkers on a regular schedule.
