Gear That Fits Wilmington Life
You keep your equipment working longer when the people who sell it also know how to fix it. Wilmington has a long Route 66 story, from the Gemini Giant to the bridges over the Kankakee River, and the farms around town still run on the same steady habits. Our Ottawa-based crew at Midwest Agri-Com supports that work with welding supplies and equipment sales and service, grain handling and drying equipment, fireplace sales and installation, and wood and pellet stoves. Corn and soybean growers in southern Will County need dryers sized for wet fall harvests, and homeowners near the river want stoves that trim winter heating bills. You can talk through both with one experienced team, then decide with a free in-store estimate in hand.
Our Service
Equipment for Fields, Shops and Living Rooms
You spend less time hunting for parts when one counter covers the shop. We stock welding wire, electrodes, filler rods, torches, handles and fuel kits, along with plasma cutters for clean cuts on plate and pipe, and our technicians sell and repair welding machines. Grain customers get help with in-bin drying, elevator legs, unload systems and bin stairs, with design and installation handled from start to finish. Inside the house, you might choose a corn or pellet stove for steady, low-cost heat, a wood stove in cast iron or soapstone, or a fireplace finished with brick, cultured stone or a wood mantel. Our crew also takes on inspection, maintenance and restoration for hearths and equipment that have weathered a few decades of prairie winters.

Reasons Wilmington Trusts Midwest Agri-Com
Living near the Kankakee River and the old Route 66 corridor, Wilmington customers know the value of things built to last, and we try to run our business the same way. Serving customers since 1975 has taught our family that the right answer starts with a conversation. Personalized expert consultations look at your harvest volume, your shop work and the farmhouse you heat, so you avoid an undersized dryer or a stove too big for the room. Competitive pricing on quality products puts a dependable plasma cutter or soapstone stove within reach. Free in-store estimates give you time to compare options without pressure. Our experienced sales team and professional service crew stay with you after the sale through installation, repairs and seasonal maintenance. That steady support is why so many Will County families make the trip to Ottawa.

How do I size a grain dryer for my farm's harvest capacity?
Gather three numbers first: how many bushels you harvest in a typical day, the moisture your corn usually comes out of the field at and the moisture you want it stored at. Drying capacity drops sharply as incoming moisture rises, so size for your wettest weeks rather than an average day. Then factor in wet holding space, bin layout and any acres you expect to add.
Is an engine-driven generator welder worth owning for field repairs?
Both burn a dry, granular fuel and heat a home efficiently. A corn stove makes sense if you grow or can buy shelled corn cheaply, though it may need more frequent ash cleaning. Pellet stoves burn cleaner with less upkeep. Some multi-fuel models burn both, giving you flexibility when fuel prices shift.
