The pilot and a passenger were engaged in a survey flight. According to the pilot,there was turbulence whilst they were flying. Thereafter, the engine suddenly stopped whilst being operated. The pilot attempted to restart it after changing the fuel tank selector but was unsuccessful. She then opted to perform a forced landing on an open field she had identified from the air. She selected full flaps for landing. Shortly after touch down, the nose wheel got caught in a concealed hole (in the tallgrass), which subsequently caused it to collapse.
