The pilot reported using carburetor heat initially when he began a descent, but removed the heat prior to attempting to add power. When he attempted to add power the engine did not respond. He was unable to restore power, and made a forced landing in a crop field 300 feet west of the intended runway. The pilot stated he felt the power loss resulted from carburetor ice.
Probable Cause: a loss of engine power due to carburetor ice. The lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing was a factor.
