Analysis
The pilot stated that he was servicing customers while on this business trip. On his next call, the pilot further stated, he was to land in a hay field that he had previously used but, due to water in the area, he elected to land on higher grounds. Upon landing, the airplane rolled over rough terrain, went out of control and nosed over.
