The accident occurred during a local VFR flight. The flight was planned as a cross-country flight with several turnpoints.
At the second turnpoint of the flight, the pilot assessed that the flight altitude was sufficient to reach the third turnpoint.
At the third turnpoint, the pilot searched for thermals to ensure sufficient altitude to reach the fourth turnpoint.
Due to the lack of thermals, the pilot assessed that the current altitude was not sufficient to continue the planned flight.
The pilot selected a field to perform an outfield landing in the terrain. During the landing, the pilot found that the grain crop in the field was higher than expected. During the landing, the left wing made contact with the grain and the glider made a ground loop.
