Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during the landing and the subsequent aborted landing.

NTSB narrative

The pilot aborted the landing after the airplane veered off the runway and was headed toward airport lighting equipment. However, the airplane stalled during the initial climb and impacted a bean field. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunction or failure with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
