Esplund Farm Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. For a small, private farm strip, closure is almost certainly due to personal or economic factors. Common reasons include the owner no longer flying (due to age or health), the owner's passing, the sale of the property to a non-aviator, or the high cost and low utility of maintaining a private runway. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Current satellite imagery clearly shows that the land where the former north-south runway was located is now a cultivated farm field, completely integrated with the surrounding cropland. There are no visible remnants of the airport infrastructure.

Esplund Farm Airport had no major historical significance on a regional or national level. It was a private, unpaved (dirt or grass) airstrip located on agricultural property. Its operations would have been limited to the personal use of the property owner for recreational flying or farm-related business, such as personal transport or potentially light agricultural aviation. It is a typical example of the thousands of private 'farm strips' that once dotted rural America, serving the needs of a single individual or family rather than the public.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Esplund Farm Airport. The land is privately owned and in active agricultural use. Furthermore, there is no public or economic need for an airport at this specific location, as the public-use Minneola Municipal Airport (K67K) is located just a few miles to the southeast.
