Narrative:
I departed mid morning to checkout a student in an er coupe. We climbed to 2;600 ft MSL and practiced slow flight and stalls. About twenty minutes after takeoff we attempted to recover from the slow flight/stall condition by increasing the throttle but we did not receive an increase in rpms. We assume the throttle cable to the engine broke. The engine remained at idle and we circled over a field and glided to land on the farm below. There was minimal damage to the airplane which included some dents on the left wing which hit some corn stalks and one of the tires popped. The student and I were the only two in the aircraft and neither of us was hurt.
