The aircraft was engaged in an agricultural spraying operation when it was entered into a procedure turn to the right. The pilot allowed the airspeed to deteriorate and the aircraft subsequently entered into a stall. He was able to partially recover the aircraft close to ground level, but the landing gear became entangled in the crop, causing the aircraft to descend further and contact the top of a drain bank. He then applied full power in attempt to fly away, but the aircraft impacted a line of trees at the perimeter of the paddock, coming to rest inverted on the ground below.
