The pvt pilot said that after about 30 minutes of cruise flight, the engine began to run rough. She applied carburetor heat, but the engine continued to lose power. An emergency lndg was made in a farm field. During the roll out, the nose wheel struck a hole and the aircraft nosed over. Post-accident investigation failed to determine the cause of the loss of eng power.
