The pilot reported that he touched down on the rough, turf surface runway and utilized a soft-field landing technique.

Shortly after contacting the ground, the nose landing gear collapsed. The airplane's aft fuselage was substantially damaged during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
