The pilot reported that during landing on a private airstrip the aircraft veered left despite corrective action. He saw a ditch in the path of the aircraft so he pulled on the control wheel and the aircraft traveled over the ditch and collided with an embankment. Examination of the accident site revealed the grass/dirt runway was 39.5 feet wide and cornfields were on both side of the 3,000-foot long runway with cornstalks alongside the runway. Further inspection revealed the aircraft landed left of the unmarked centerline of the runway. According to the aircraft owner's manual, the wingspan is about 36 feet wide.
