Sellers Airport

The closure was due to economic and land-use reasons. As a small, privately owned airfield, the owner likely decided to cease operations and revert the land to its more profitable agricultural purpose. The physical evidence of the runway being plowed over confirms its conversion back to farmland, a common fate for small, rural general aviation airports.

The site of the former Sellers Airport is now actively used as agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the area has been fully integrated into the surrounding farm fields. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any airport buildings. The land is used for crop cultivation.

Sellers Airport was a private general aviation airfield, typical of many small, rural airports established in the mid-20th century. It was established sometime between 1963 and 1969. According to the 1982 AOPA Airport Directory, it was owned by Donald Sellers and featured a single 2,640-foot unpaved turf runway (18/36). The airport's operations would have included personal recreational flying and potentially some local agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting). Its significance lies in representing the grassroots of American aviation, providing a simple, accessible landing strip for private pilots in a rural community before economic pressures led to the closure of many such fields.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening Sellers Airport. The complete removal of all airport infrastructure and the conversion of the land to productive farmland make reopening extremely unlikely. Any effort to re-establish an airport at this location would require purchasing the private land from its current owner and constructing an entirely new facility from scratch, which is not considered a viable prospect.
