Sales and Services
Rooted in Rural Illinois Communities
Flat, fertile ground spreads out around Varna, and most families here have a stake in the harvest. That makes your grain system, your shop and your heat source central to everyday life. Our Ottawa crew at Midwest Agri-Com has supported rural Illinois since 1975 with hearth installs, wood and pellet stoves, grain bin drying and handling gear, and a welding counter backed by equipment sales and service. You can visit our showroom on Route 71 to compare stove styles, ask about elevator legs or stock up on filler rods. We know you would rather spend your time farming than shopping, so we keep visits efficient. Tell us what you are working on, and we will help you narrow the options to the ones that truly fit.
Our Service
A Full Lineup for Farm and Hearth
How many suppliers does it take to keep a farm and household running? With us, just one. Our grain equipment lineup ranges from elevator legs and unload systems to in-bin drying setups, with design and installation support for new sites or expansions. Welding customers find electrodes, wire, torches and handles in stock, and welding equipment sales and service helps your machines stay productive through planting and harvest. Inside your home, fireplace sales and installation can pair a stacked brick hearth with a wood mantel, or set a cultured stone surround that suits a modern room. Our wood and pellet stoves sit beside gas and corn choices, finished in cast iron, soapstone or plate steel. Repair, maintenance, restoration and installation inspection complete the picture, so your equipment keeps working through every harvest and every hard freeze.

Our Services and products
Built on Trust Since 1975
Around Varna, folks remember who showed up when a dryer quit mid-harvest, which is why professional service and an experienced sales team anchor everything we do. Since 1975, our family owned business has focused on solving real problems for real farms and homes. You start with personalized expert consultations, where we learn about your bins, your shop projects and the rooms you want to heat. Free in-store estimates follow, giving you clear costs before you commit. Competitive pricing on quality products ensures you invest in equipment that lasts rather than equipment you replace in a few years. Serving customers since 1975 has taught us to recommend only what fits. After installation, you still have a team to call for maintenance, inspection and repair, which keeps your grain, welding and hearth equipment performing season after season.

How much clearance does a wood stove need from nearby walls?
Required clearances depend on the specific stove and on any approved heat shielding behind it. Each stove lists minimum distances to combustible surfaces on its label and in its manual, and local codes may add requirements. Heat shields and noncombustible wall protection can reduce clearances safely. Measure your room carefully and have the installation inspected before your first fire.
How should I lay out a grain site so I can expand later?
A multiprocess welder handles MIG, stick and often TIG in one machine, which gives a new shop flexibility as skills grow. You can use MIG for clean shop repairs and stick for rusty implements outdoors. The tradeoff is cost and complexity compared with a single process unit. Consider which jobs you do most before deciding.
