The exact closure date is not officially documented. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery suggests the airport fell into disuse and ceased being maintained sometime between the late 1990s and the early 2000s. Imagery from 1993 shows a clearly defined and maintained airstrip, while imagery from the mid-2000s onwards shows it becoming progressively overgrown and indistinct.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly recorded, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure is presumed to be due to private circumstances rather than public action. Likely reasons include the property owner passing away, selling the land, ceasing aviation activities due to age or cost, or a general lack of use. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic downturn.
The site is currently used for agriculture. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the land has been integrated back into the surrounding farmland. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible as a dirt track or a demarcation line in the fields, but it is no longer maintained, is partially overgrown, and is completely unsuitable for any aviation use. The buildings at the south end of the former strip appear to be part of a private farmstead.
Bakers Acres Airport was a small, privately owned airstrip. The identifier 'US-10413' is not an official ICAO or FAA code, but an internal designator used by non-governmental databases, indicating the airport's unofficial or purely private status. Its historical significance is limited to the local level, serving as a personal airfield for the property owner. Operations would have consisted of light general aviation aircraft (such as Cessna or Piper single-engine planes) used for recreational flying or potentially minor agricultural purposes. Based on satellite imagery, it featured a single north-south turf runway, approximately 2,300 feet in length.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Bakers Acres Airport. As the land is privately owned and has been fully repurposed for agriculture, reopening would require the current landowner to have a significant interest in aviation and be willing to invest in restoring the runway and facilities. Given its long period of disuse and integration into farmland, a return to aviation service is considered highly improbable.
