The student pilot said he was on final approach for landing on runway 12 when he encountered a crosswind from the northeast. He corrected for the crosswind and proceeded to land. The airplane ballooned, touched down again and pulled to the right. The student pilot applied full power in an attempt to abort the landing. The airplane went off the right side of the runway, became airborne, and struck a large hay bale.
