Read the full NTSB narrative
The commercial rated pilot was performing an aerial application flight in a single-engine, reciprocating powered agricultural airplane. During an application run, the engine lost power and the pilot elected to execute a forced landing in a cotton field. During landing, the aircraft "flipped over", coming to rest in the inverted position. A reason for the loss of engine power was not determined.
