THE PLT REPORTED THAT DURING TAKEOFF FROM A PRIVATE FARM STRIP, HE HAD ONLY 70 KTS AS HE APCHD THE END OF THE RWY. BY THEN, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO ABORT & HE BELIEVED THE ACFT HAD INSUFFICIENT AIRSPEED TO CLEAR WIRES ALONG A ROADWAY ABOUT 330 FT FROM THE STRIP. PLOWED GROUND WAS LOCATED BETWEEN THE END OF THE STRIP & THE ROAD & THE TERRAIN SLOPED SLIGHTLY UPWARD IN THAT AREA. THE PLT ELECTED TO FLY BETWEEN THE ROADWAY & THE WIRES. HOWEVER, THE NOSE GEAR STRUCK THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PLANE CRASHED & CAME TO REST IN ANOTHER PLOWED FIELD BEYOND THE ROAD. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT & ENG REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF A PREIMPACT, MECHANICAL PROBLEM. A CHECK OF THE RWY REVEALED THAT THE 1ST FEW HUNDRED FEET WAS SOFT & THE GRASS WAS 3 TO 4 INCHES TALL.
