Help for Mendota Operations
Sweet corn season fades, field corn takes over, and the grain carts around Mendota start rolling along I-39 and the county roads. This is serious row crop country, and dependable grain handling is not optional here. Midwest Agri-Com supports northern LaSalle County with in-bin drying, unload systems, elevator legs and stirring machines, plus the installation and repair work that keeps them in service. Farm shops lean on us for welding equipment, maintenance and consumables when a broken hitch or cracked frame shows up mid harvest. After the crop is in, attention shifts indoors, and we help Mendota homeowners choose pellet, wood or gas stoves and fireplaces built for long prairie winters. Our Ottawa showroom is a short trip southeast.
Our Service
Grain Systems and Shop Equipment
Midwest Agri-Com handles projects across five specialties, and Mendota customers tend to use every one of them. Many start at the bin site, where we plan, install and service drying and handling equipment, including stirring machines for wet corn and elevator legs that keep trucks from stacking up in the yard. Next comes the farm shop. We sell welders and keep them running with repair and maintenance, and our shelves carry electrodes, welding wire and filler rods for everything from cracked frames to new gates. Inside the house, you can browse fireplaces in brick, stone or masonry looks, with mantels and accessories to finish the space. Pellet stoves are a popular choice for busy households, and our showroom also displays corn, gas and wood models built from cast iron, steel and soapstone. Each project begins with a sales consultation and can continue through construction, installation and inspection.

How do stirring machines improve drying in a grain bin?
Stirring machines use augers that move through the grain, loosening it and mixing wetter and drier layers. This improves airflow, reduces overdrying at the bottom and helps the whole bin reach even moisture. They are especially useful when you harvest at higher moisture and dry in the bin. Bin diameter and fan capacity help determine the right setup.
Should I pick a pellet stove or a wood stove for my house?
Heavy implement repair usually calls for a welder with higher amperage and a solid duty cycle so you can lay longer, deeper welds. Stick machines are popular for thick, outdoor work, while larger MIG units speed up shop jobs on heavy plate. Consider your power supply and the thickest steel you repair. We can match a machine to your shop.
