Probable cause
the in-flight separation of the control stick. A contributing factor was the rough terrain for the forced landing, which resulted in a collapsed landing gear.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that the pin that secured the control stick to the elevator control system came out, the control stick disconnected from elevator control rods, and he lost elevator authority. The pilot conducted a forced landing in an alfalfa field and the nose landing gear collapsed when it encountered the field's border. The airplane underwent its last annual inspection 34.5 hours prior to the accident. At the time of the last inspection the airframe and flight controls were lubricated.
