Rooted in the River Valley
Spring Valley houses need heating that respects their age and keeps drafty rooms comfortable. Many homes here date back to the town's coal mining years, built close to the Illinois River where damp valley air makes winter feel colder than the thermometer says. Midwest Agri-Com has worked with homeowners like you since 1975, and our Ottawa showroom is a quick trip east. We restore tired masonry fireplaces, install wood and pellet stoves and fit inserts into chimneys that have not drawn well in years. Bureau County farms around town get support with grain handling and drying equipment, and local shops and hobbyists count on us for welding consumables and for machines we both sell and repair. You get practical recommendations that match the house you have and the way you heat it.
Our Service
Restoring Hearths and Building Better Heat
Older river towns need fireplace work that preserves character while fixing what time has worn down. We take on masonry repair, restoration and full construction, with brick, cultured stone and wood mantel options that suit a century-old living room. Stove buyers can choose cast iron, soapstone or steel bodies burning pellets, wood, corn or gas, each sized to the rooms you want to warm. Inspection and maintenance keep everything safe for the long haul. Beyond the house, we sell and service welding equipment and stock electrodes, filler rods, wire, handles, fuel kits, torches and plasma cutters for repair shops and garages. Farmers on the prairie above the valley rely on us for in-bin drying, stirring machines, unload systems, elevator legs and bin stairs, plus design and installation that fits their storage.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
Can a corn stove really heat my home using shelled corn?
Yes, a corn stove burns dry shelled corn as fuel and can heat a main living area well. Corn needs to be clean and dry to burn properly, and the stove needs regular ash and clinker removal. Many rural households like the fuel option. We explain how corn stoves compare with pellet models for your space.
What do stirring machines do inside a grain drying bin?
If the chimney structure is sound, restoration often makes sense, with repointing, firebox repair and a new liner bringing it back into safe use. Severe cracking, settling or water damage may point toward rebuilding or adding an insert. An inspection shows what you are working with. We walk you through the options and costs before work starts.
