Grells Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, as it was a private airfield. However, the evidence strongly suggests it was an economic decision by the property owner. The land was fully converted back to agricultural use, a common fate for small, private airfields when the owner sells the property, loses interest in flying, or finds the land more valuable for farming.

The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agriculture. Modern satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the land is now a cultivated farm field, fully integrated with the surrounding farmland. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any aviation-related structures.

Grells Airport was a small, private airfield that primarily served general aviation. It was not a public or commercial airport and did not have an official FAA identifier; the 'US-10582' code is an internal identifier from a non-governmental database. First appearing on aeronautical charts around 1968, it featured a single turf runway approximately 2,200 feet long. Its operations were limited to the private owner and likely included personal recreational flights and possibly agricultural support, given its location in a rural farming community.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Grells Airport. The land has been actively and continuously farmed for over two decades, making its reconversion to an airfield highly improbable. As a small, privately-owned strip with no public infrastructure, there is no community or commercial interest in its revival.
