Sales and Services
Rooted in Streator Farm Country
Corn dust hangs in the air along the Vermilion River in late September, and every farm around Streator is racing to keep dryers fed and augers turning. Midwest Agri-Com knows that rhythm well. When a stirring machine needs service or you are planning a new bin with proper stairs and unload equipment, our crew is a short drive north to Ottawa. Your shop gets attention too, with welding equipment sales, machine service and the consumables you burn through during repair season. Then, as nights turn cold across southern LaSalle County, many Streator homeowners turn their attention to heat. We help you weigh wood, corn and pellet stoves or a new fireplace for homes ranging from older brick houses in town to farmhouses outside it.
Our Service
Complete Grain and Shop Support
Our work starts with the equipment that keeps a farm moving. For Streator growers, that means grain bins with sturdy stairs, elevator legs sized to your harvest pace, unload systems that empty bins without a fight, and in-bin drying with stirring machines when you want to pick corn early. Our own crew designs, installs and maintains those systems. Welding is the second pillar, with equipment sales and repair plus a counter stocked with handles, filler rods, plasma cutters, cutting torches and fuel kits. Midwest Agri-Com also covers comfort, selling and installing fireplaces in masonry and cultured stone styles with wood mantels to match. Corn stoves deserve a special mention for families with access to shelled corn, though we also offer pellet, wood and gas models in cast iron, steel or soapstone. Inspection, repair and restoration keep everything running long after installation day.

Our Services and products
The Difference You Notice
Since 1975, Midwest Agri-Com has been serving customers across LaSalle County as a family owned and operated business, and Streator has always been part of that story. Our experienced sales team takes time to understand your operation before suggesting equipment, and our professional service technicians install it correctly the first time. You also get personalized expert consultations, so a corn stove recommendation or a grain leg layout reflects your property rather than a generic template. Free in-store estimates give you clear numbers without obligation. Competitive pricing on quality products keeps your project within reach, from a welder for the shop to a dryer upgrade. Because our crew stays local, you can reach us when a part fails during harvest or a stove needs attention in the dead of winter.

your questions answered

Can a corn stove really heat my home through an Illinois winter?
A properly sized corn stove can be a primary heat source in many homes, especially well insulated ones with an open layout. Corn burns hot and clean when the stove is designed for it, though you will need dry, clean shelled corn and regular ash removal. Square footage, insulation and room layout all affect performance, so sizing matters most.
What should I look for in grain bin stairs and safety access?
Augers work well for smaller setups and occasional movement between a few bins. An elevator leg moves grain vertically at higher capacity and gently, which suits operations with several bins, a dryer and frequent handling. Think about your harvest volume, future expansion and how much time you lose moving augers around. A site review helps clarify which option fits.
