The aircraft was engaged in a crop spraying operation when the pilot noticed oil on the windscreen and decided to proceed to a private airstrip for a precautionary landing. As the aircraft climbed away from the field, smoke was observed to be billowing from the engine cowl and the pilot elected an emergency landing at Cudgewa Airstrip. A short time later, the propeller separated from the aircraft and the aircraft was landed in a wheat field. During the landing roll, the aircraft overturned due to the soft surface.
