Broussard Farm Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a privately owned airfield (owned by L.J. Broussard), the closure was likely due to personal circumstances common for such strips, such as the owner's retirement from flying, death, or a decision to cease the expense of maintaining an active airfield. The land was not sold for major development but was instead reverted to its primary agricultural function.

The site has been fully returned to agricultural use. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the land where the runway was located is now an open pasture or field, consistent with the surrounding farmland. While the faint outline of the former runway is still discernible from the air, there are no remaining signs of active aviation. The nearby buildings appear to be residential and agricultural (barns/sheds), not hangars.

Broussard Farm Airport (formerly assigned the FAA identifier 1TA7) was a private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving the needs of its owner and potentially other local pilots. First appearing on charts in 1981, it featured a single 3,000-foot by 50-foot turf runway (oriented approximately 02/20). Operations would have consisted of personal recreational flying and possibly agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting) to support the surrounding farm operations in Jefferson County.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Broussard Farm Airport. Having been officially closed for approximately two decades and with the land fully integrated back into a working farm, the likelihood of it ever being re-certified and reopened as an airport is virtually zero.
