While on an aerial application flight conducting seeding from approximately 100 feet above ground level, the engine lost all power. The pilot made a forced landing in a plowed field and during the landing roll the aircraft nosed over causing damage to the fuselage aft of the cockpit area. Examination of the engine provided evidence of a rocker arm failure.
Probable Cause: A total loss of power due to an engine rocker arm failure and soft/unsuitable terrain during the subsequent forced landing.
