Equipment for Walnut Farms and Homes
Walnut operations need grain equipment that runs dependably from the first load of beans to the last corn of the season. Out in the open farm country of northern Bureau County, your fields stretch wide and the wind across the prairie can make winter brutal for both people and equipment. Our team at Midwest Agri-Com has backed farm families since 1975. Our Ottawa showroom is southeast of you, and the trip is worth it when you want advice from people who know grain handling and drying equipment inside and out. We also supply welding equipment sales and service plus welding supplies for the farm shop, and we install fireplaces and wood and pellet stoves that keep drafty farmhouses comfortable. Bring your plans and questions, and we will help you prioritize.
Our Service
Reliable Grain Flow and Shop Readiness
Out on the open Bureau County prairie around Walnut, a stalled unload auger in October costs real time. Our team plans and installs in-bin drying, stirring machines, elevator legs and unload systems, then handles repair and maintenance as components wear. Bin stairs give you a safer climb than an old ladder. Winter is fabrication season for a lot of farm shops, so we keep electrodes, wire, filler rods, handles, fuel kits, torches and plasma cutters in stock, and our service department keeps welders running. Inside the house, prairie wind finds every gap, which is why a properly sized stove matters. Choose steel, soapstone or cast iron models fueled by wood, pellets, corn or gas. For fireplaces, you can pick masonry, brick, cultured stone or a wood mantel, and our installers take care of construction, restoration and inspection.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
What should I look for in a bin unload system?
Look at unload capacity in bushels per hour, the bin diameter and how the sweep auger cleans out the floor. A system that empties bins quickly and thoroughly saves labor and keeps you from entering the bin. Match it to your handling equipment so nothing downstream bottlenecks. We help you size a system for your bins.
How often should I have my wood stove chimney inspected?
Bronze filler rods work well for brazing cast iron and joining dissimilar metals, while mild steel rods suit gas welding thin steel. Flux-coated rods simplify brazing by keeping the joint clean. The base metal and the strength you need guide the choice. Bring the part or describe the repair, and we will point you to the right rod.
