According to the pilot, his first approach for landing was too fast so he performed a go-around and attempted a second landing to the south. The pilot reported that rain showers obscured his vision during the approach, but he elected to continue with the landing. The grass runway was wet and the pilot thought that he could not stop the airplane on the runway so he subsequently initiated another go-around. During the go-around the airplane impacted a fence and came to rest in a corn field a mile away. The wind reported at an airport 10 miles to the southeast of the accident site was variable at 10 knots, gusting to 20 knots. The pilot reported that the wind was out of the south at the time of the accident. The pilot additionally reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper touchdown point during landing and his delayed decision to execute a go-around. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's vision being obscured by the rain.
