What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The PIC conducted a preflight inspection, fueled to 30 gallons, loaded the aircraft with 100 gallons of fungicide, and departed the airport for a corn field 5 miles away to perform application. Takeoff and climb appeared normal to the pilot. At 500 feet altitude and just over one mile from the destination, the pilot noticed reduced engine performance and turned to return to the airport. Performance did not improve despite mixture, mags, temp and oil pressure reading normal. After altitude reduced to 250 feet, the pilot jettisoned the load over a non-crop production area. Realizing roads were unattainable for landing, the pilot decided the corn field was the safest place to land. The aircraft slowed in the corn, but the main landing gear sank into the wet soil. Leaning nose down, the aircraft flipped forward and stopped inverted. The pilot egressed suffering a minor arm abrasion in the process.
