Air-Ag Airport

Economic reasons, specifically the cessation of the private business it was built to support. The airport was a private-use facility owned and operated by 'Air-Ag Inc.' as a base for its agricultural aviation (crop dusting) services. The closure of the airport coincided with the winding down or conclusion of that specific business operation.

The site is currently a private farmstead and agricultural facility. The physical turf runway is no longer maintained as an active airstrip, though its outline is still clearly visible on satellite imagery as a mowed grass lane. The associated buildings, including the former hangar, are now used for general farm equipment storage and other agricultural purposes. The land has been fully repurposed for private farming use.

Air-Ag Airport was a private airfield whose significance was tied directly to the local agricultural economy of Glenville and the surrounding Freeborn County. It served as the operational base for a fleet of agricultural aircraft. These planes were responsible for aerial application of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides on the vast farmlands in the region. The airport featured a single north-south turf runway (approximately 2,500 feet long) and associated hangar and chemical storage facilities. It was a vital piece of infrastructure for the specific agricultural service company that operated it, enabling efficient and timely crop treatment.

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Air-Ag Airport. As a private field tied to a specific business that no longer operates from the site, there is no economic or logistical driver for its reactivation. The land and buildings have been fully integrated into a private farming operation, and re-certifying it as an airport would be costly and without a clear purpose.
