NTSB Factual Report

The pilot stated that during the aerial application of a corn field, the airplane altitude became too low. The airplane spray booms contacted the corn and the accumulation of the corn debris on the boom increased drag. The pilot performed a forced landing to a field after the airplane was unable to maintain airspeed and altitude due to the drag increase. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from vegetation that caused increased drag during a low-level maneuvering flight.
