Serving the Bureau County Seat
Princeton Welding, Grain Handling and Hearth Services
Princeton sits at the heart of Bureau County farm country, and your equipment should match the work this ground demands every season.
Sales and Services
Grounded in Bureau County Agriculture
Princeton farms need drying and handling equipment that can keep up with Bureau County yields. As the county seat right off I-80, your town anchors a wide ring of corn and soybean ground, along with historic homes near the Red Covered Bridge and newer houses on the edges of town. Midwest Agri-Com, family owned since 1975, works with both. Our Ottawa showroom is an easy drive east on I-80, and we cover grain handling and drying equipment, welding supplies, welding equipment sales and service, fireplaces and wood and pellet stoves. You get recommendations built around your storage capacity, your shop and your house, not a one-size package. Stop in with your bin dimensions, your heating questions or the welder that quit on you last week, and we will help you sort out a plan.
Our Service
Drying, Handling and Fabrication Support
Grain systems around Princeton have to keep pace with fast harvests on the prairie north of I-80. We design and install in-bin drying, stirring machines, elevator legs and unload systems, then return for maintenance and repair so bushels keep moving. Bin stairs make every inspection trip up the side safer. For the shop, you can pick up welding wire, electrodes, filler rods, torches, plasma cutters, handles and fuel kits, plus sales and service on the welding machines themselves. Plenty of homes in town date back generations, and a tired fireplace in one of them often deserves restoration rather than a sheet of plywood. Our installers work in brick, masonry, cultured stone and wood mantels. We also carry cast iron, steel and soapstone stoves that burn wood, pellets, corn or gas. You talk through the plan with a salesperson first, and an inspection closes out the installation.

How do I figure out how much grain dryer capacity I need?
Begin with your peak daily harvest in bushels and the moisture your corn usually carries when it comes out of the field. The wetter the crop, the more drying work each bushel needs. A dryer that cannot keep up with the combine stalls everything behind it. We look at your acres, crop mix and storage together to size a system that keeps grain moving without overspending.
Is a soapstone stove better than a cast iron or steel stove?
Thinner wire suits sheet metal and lighter brackets, while thicker wire lays down more metal on heavier plate and implement frames. Most farm shops keep a mid-size wire on hand for everyday work. Match the wire to your machine's range and the thickness you weld most, and keep spare tips and liners in the shop.
