During climb out, the pilot reported an engine failure and landed in a farmers field approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the intersection of southern avenue and south bruner road.
The pilot stated that while turning crosswind after departing runway 17, at between 600- 700' above the ground, and 80-85 mph indicated airspeed, the engine made a breaking then grinding sound accompanied by high vibration and the sound of what seemed to be running on two cylinders. Within an approximately 5 seconds the engine seized hard with a squealing sound, then silence, a single prop blade visible in the left windscreen.
The aircraft landed perpendicular to field berms, the nose and main gear assemblies collapsed following contact with a berm. The aircraft continued to slide along on the fuselage for approximately 250 feet.
