Gaerte Grain is the hub of rural Kimmell, with huge silos standing as monuments to this tiny town's rural past and present. Once one of the largest distribution points in the nation for onions, old warehouses still line the tracks of the "B & O" railroad. Noble County's soil made both onion and mint crops some of the country's best. Popcorn was also stored and shipped from Kimmell warehouses, but today's commodities are corn and soybeans.
