According to the pilot, he was flying 'low' looking at a crop duster strip. When he advanced the throttle to climb, the airplane's engine 'stopped producing power.' The pilot reported that because of low altitude and the distance from the duster strip, he elected to land the airplane in a rice field. Upon impact with the ground, the 'landing gear collapsed and the plane cart-wheeled' before coming to rest approximately 20 yards from the approach end of the duster strip.
Probable Cause: the loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
