Mumford Farms Airport

The airport was a private facility on an active farm. The closure was due to the cessation of aviation activities by the owner, and the land was subsequently converted back to its primary economic use: agriculture. There is no evidence of accidents, military conversion, or other external factors forcing the closure.

The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed and is used for agriculture. Current satellite imagery shows the area as indistinguishable from the surrounding fields of corn and soybeans. There are no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure. The land is part of an active, private farm.

Mumford Farms Airport was a private, unpaved turf airstrip. Its significance was purely local, serving the private aviation needs of the owners of Mumford Farms. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft for personal transportation and potentially agricultural purposes (e.g., crop survey or spraying). It was a characteristic example of a private farm strip, common in rural America, but it held no public, commercial, or military importance. The identifier US-10373 is not an official FAA or ICAO code but a third-party database identifier for historical tracking.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been productively farmed for over two decades, making its value as cropland likely far higher than as a private airstrip. Re-establishing the airport would require significant private investment and taking valuable farmland out of production, making it highly improbable.
