Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot said that he was spraying through a field, when the nose of the airplane pitched downward. The pilot said he applied full back pressure with no success in pulling the nose up. The airplane impacted the ground. The airplane was examined after it had been removed from the field and loaded on a truck trailer with its wings removed. The examination of the airplane, in this configuration, revealed no anomalies.
