THE PILOT STATED THAT THE WIND WAS FROM ABOUT 135 DEG AT 10 KTS. HE STATED HE MADE A MISTAKE AND LANDED ON RUNWAY 31 INSTEAD OF 13. REPORTEDLY, HIS TOUCHDOWN WAS TOO FAR DOWN THE RUNWAY FOR A SAFE LANDING. HE INITIATED A GO-AROUND BUT THE STALL WARNING HORN SOUNDED AND HE DETERMINED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FLY-OUT. THEREFORE, HE LANDED IN AN OAT FIELD WHERE THE PLANE HIT A RUT AND NOSED OVER. ABOUT 20 MI SOUTHEAST AT LACROSSE, WI, THE WIND WAS FROM 160 DEG AT 10 KTS.
