There is no on-field FBO listed. Check with the airport operator or the field directly for current services before you go. Published remarks say minor airframe repairs may be available on request. They also note runway 36 has a displaced threshold marked with white barrels and lights. The runway 36 approach also has a 20 to 1 obstacle clearance slope to that displaced threshold. Seasonal crops can be present near the runway 18 end. Runway 36 has lighted stadium poles near the approach path.
