Approximately between 2013 and 2016. The airport was depicted on the Memphis VFR Sectional Chart in 2013 but was no longer charted by 2016, indicating it was officially closed to aviation traffic during that period.
Economic or personal reasons related to its private ownership. As a private airstrip owned and operated by Moore Farms Inc., it was likely closed after the owner ceased aviation operations. Common reasons for such closures include the high cost of aircraft maintenance and insurance, the owner's retirement from flying, or a change in the farm's operational needs that no longer required a private airfield. There is no evidence of accidents or military conversion leading to the closure.
The site is no longer an active airport. Satellite imagery shows that while the physical outline of the turf runway is still clearly visible, it is unmaintained and overgrown. The area of the former runway is now used for agricultural purposes, specifically for the open-air storage of farm equipment and large white grain storage bags. The associated farm buildings remain, but there are no signs of aviation activity.
Moore Farm Airport was a private turf airstrip that primarily supported agricultural and general aviation operations. Its main purpose was to serve Moore Farms Inc., a local agricultural business. Operations likely included agricultural aviation (crop dusting) using specialized aircraft and private transportation for the farm's owners in light single-engine planes. The runway, measuring approximately 2,600 feet, was suitable for these types of aircraft. Its significance was entirely local, representing a common type of private airfield that supports large farming operations in rural, agriculturally-intensive areas like the Arkansas Grand Prairie.
There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Moore Farm Airport. As it is private property that has been repurposed for agricultural storage, reopening would require a significant private investment and a renewed operational need from the owner. Given its closure and current use, a return to aviation service is considered highly unlikely.
The FAA has a different airport with '45AR', and doesn't have this airport at all.
