AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS OF CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT, THE PRIVATE PILOT EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING AFTER A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD DIFFICULTY LOCATING HIS INTENDED DESTINATION AND WAS DIVERTING TO ANOTHER AIRFIELD WHEN THE LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED. THE PILOT FURTHER REPORTED THAT HE EXECUTED A 'SMOOTH LANDING' IN A FARMER'S FIELD; HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A BARBED WIRE FENCE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 435 FEET OF LANDING ROLL.
