There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. The published remarks matter here. Runway 16/34 has stopways at both ends. There is a ditch near the southeast end of runway 16/34.

Runway 03/21 also has a runway visual sight clearance violation. Winter conditions can change the field fast after a snowstorm, so call the airport manager before arrival if the surface may be covered.
