Equipment Expertise for Pontiac
Prairie wind sweeps hard across Livingston County each winter. Pontiac carries a proud Route 66 heritage, and the Vermilion River winds right through town. As the Livingston County seat with I-55 at its doorstep, Pontiac mixes older neighborhoods, newer homes and busy farm ground in every direction. Midwest Agri-Com serves that blend from Ottawa, a drive northwest across the prairie, where our Route 71 showroom keeps everything in one place. Homeowners come to us for fireplace sales and installation and wood and pellet stoves that cut heating costs. Area growers rely on our grain handling and drying equipment, and contractors and farmers alike stock up on welding supplies and equipment, with sales and service when machines need care. You get thoughtful recommendations shaped by your property, your budget and the job you want done.
Our Service
Hearth and Equipment Services That Deliver
Historic homes in Pontiac often hide fireplaces ready for restoration. Our hearth team handles fireplace sales and installation, from rebuilt brick and masonry fireboxes to cultured stone facades and custom wood mantels, plus everyday tools and accessories. Prefer a stove? Compare models burning wood, pellets, corn or gas, in soapstone for gentle heat or cast iron and steel for faster warmth. Out on Livingston County farms, our grain handling and drying equipment helps you keep pace at harvest with elevator legs, stirring machines and in-bin drying. For shops and job sites, welding supplies and equipment cover plasma cutters, filler rods, welding wire and fuel kits, with welding equipment sales and service available. We also take on design and construction, along with repair, maintenance, restoration and inspection, so your project is handled by one experienced team from start to finish.

Can you restore an old fireplace in a historic home safely?
Many older fireplaces can be restored with repairs to the firebox, damper and chimney, along with a proper liner if the flue is damaged. Restoration starts with a careful inspection to find cracks, missing mortar and draft problems. Done right, you keep the original character of the room while gaining safer, more efficient operation for years to come.
Should I cut steel with a plasma cutter or an oxy-fuel torch?
Natural air drying can work when corn comes in near the lower end of harvest moisture and the bin has enough airflow per bushel. It is slower and depends on fall weather, so cool, damp stretches extend drying time. Adding supplemental heat or a stirring machine can help. Monitor moisture and temperature closely throughout the process.
