Narrative:

While flying during VMC/unlimited ceilings/visibility and low wind conditions. The aircraft had an unscheduled/uncommanded engine shutdown (cause is currently under investigation). I performed the poh published emergency. Due to the low altitude and rapidly evolving events - I determined that a restart was not prudent or practicable and could jeopardize a successful outcome by being a distraction. Conducted a successful/non-fatal emergency off-field landing on an agricultural field. No injuries where sustained to the pilot or sole passenger. No one on the ground was hurt or personal property damaged other than minimal and repairable scaring from the landing and subsequent gear failure to the terrain. No fire or fuel/contaminate leakage (to my knowledge) occurred during/after the landing. The aircraft suffered damage to the nose gear assembly and the propeller.
