The field has medium intensity runway lights, runway end identifier lights and PAPI on runways 13 and 31. That helps for night work on the paved strip. Dakota Ag Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours with a credit card. Wildlife is a real factor here. Waterfowl and gulls are reported on and near the airport.
