Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot landed the airplane nose wheel first on runway 27. The airplane then started to porpoise, so he executed a go-around (balked landing). During the maneuver, the airplane drifted left and struck two small trees that were encroaching into the runway environment. The airplane came to rest upright in a corn field, 40 feet left of Runway 27.
