Schurr Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the closure is consistent with the owner ceasing operations for personal reasons (such as retirement or age) and the land being repurposed. The owner, Robert Schurr, was a farmer, and the land's reversion to agricultural use suggests the decision was likely economic and personal rather than due to an accident or military conversion.

The airport site has been fully converted back to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the land is actively farmed as part of a larger agricultural parcel. The faint, straight outline of the former grass runway is still discernible within the cultivated fields, but no airport infrastructure, such as hangars or markings, remains.

Schurr Airport was a private general aviation airfield owned and operated by local pilot and farmer Robert Schurr. Active from at least 1970 until its closure, it featured a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway aligned north/south (Runway 18/36). The airport's primary operations involved serving the personal, recreational flying needs of its owner and potentially other local pilots. It was a characteristic example of the numerous private airstrips that once dotted the American Midwest, supporting a grassroots aviation culture and providing a base for personal and possibly agricultural aircraft.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Schurr Airport. The land is privately owned and integrated into active farmland, making a return to aviation operations extremely unlikely.
