The pilot reported that he was doing a night landing to a grass airstrip that had two lights at the approach end of runway 17. There were no other lights marking runway 17. The pilot reported that directional control was maintained until the right wheel hit a rut in the runway. He reported the airplane went airborne and veered off the right side of the runway. The airplane went through a harvested bean field and nosed over when the nose gear hit a rut on the crossing runway. The pilot reported there was nothing wrong with the airplane prior to the accident.
