Read the full NTSB narrative
While departing from a turf runway, the pilot stated that he "must have lifted off early." As the airplane climbed, it "felt mushy", and started to drift to the left. The pilot then "lost control," and the airplane skidded across a soybean field, before coming to rest upright.
