Agricultural Operations on Airport Grounds

This report is focused on agricultural operations on airport grounds and the benefits and risks associated with maintaining an airport agricultural program. This synthesis compiles previous studies, regulator information, and existing guidelines from airports that already have a program in place. A number of airports were surveyed, which provided information on types of agricultural uses in place at airports, safety concerns, program motivations, risk factors, and lessons learned. A sample checklist that may be used to determine the feasibility of developing a program by airport operators is found in Appendix E. Information used in this study was acquired through literature review, airport interviews, and over 250 survey responses from airports of a variety of sizes.
