While en route to apply chemicals to a crop field, the airplane sustained an engine power loss. The pilot made a forced landing in a crop field and encountered a ditch during rollout. Examination of the airplane and engine after the accident failed to reveal any pre-existing anomalies. A weather reporting station 26 miles northwest of the accident site reported a temperature of 89 degrees (F) and a dew point of 72 degrees (F) 29 minutes prior to the accident. The pilot stated that he did not use the carburetor heat.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to use carburetor heat which led to carburetor ice. Factors were weather conditions conducive to carburetor icing and the unsuitable terrain encountered during the forced landing.
