The pilot said that just south of Overton, Nebraska, the airplane's engine started running rough. The pilot said he elected to land on a corn stubble field. "I touched down normally and on roll out the aircraft contacted a snow drift and went over on its back." An examination of the airplane's engine revealed that the number 4 cylinder exhaust valve guide was sticking and the exhaust valve was not seating properly.
