Scott Seed Farm Airport

The airport was privately owned and operated by the Scott Seed Company. While the specific reason is not officially documented, closures of such private airfields are typically due to economic or operational business decisions. Likely factors include the high costs of maintenance, insurance, and aircraft operation becoming unjustifiable for the company's needs, a change in company ownership or management, or a shift in transportation strategy away from private aviation.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists as an aviation facility. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the land has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. The faint, ghostly outline of the former north-south dirt or grass runway is still visible under certain conditions, but the area is now actively cultivated with crops and marked by farm vehicle tracks. The site is an integrated part of the surrounding farmland.

Scott Seed Farm Airport was a private-use airstrip whose significance was tied directly to the local agricultural industry. Its primary function was to support the operations of its owner, the Scott Seed Company, a major agricultural business in Pomeroy. The airport would have been used for the transportation of company personnel, visiting clients or specialists, and potentially for the rapid transport of light, high-value cargo like proprietary seed stock. It is a historical example of how mid-20th-century agricultural enterprises used private aviation to overcome rural distances and enhance business efficiency.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Scott Seed Farm Airport. The land has been repurposed for its primary agricultural function, and the economic and logistical case for a private airstrip at this location no longer appears to exist for the owner. For all practical purposes, the closure is permanent.
