Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot performed a forced landing on a soybean and impacted a creek bed following a total loss of engine power during an aerial application. The pilot reported the presence of smoke from the engine exhaust which was reported by witnesses as white smoke prior to the loss of power. Examination of the airplane revealed the chemical bay was empty, the right fuel tank was damaged and contained no fuel and the left tank was intact and contained fuel. The fuel selector was on the right tank.
