Narrative:
Because of recent heavy rains our landing strip had a wet area in the middle of the strip. This necessitated short field landing and takeoff procedures. My approach was a few ft to the left. My left wingtip caught some cornfield plants causing my plane to turn to the left and skid to a stop.
