Narrative:
Flight was an instructional sports pilot ride preparing the student for his check ride. First 1.2 hrs of flight time was uneventful and consisted of multiple traffic pattern and engine out patterns both on and off airport. During the third off airport engine out; when power was applied at approximately 700 ft AGL; the engine did not spool all the way up. Due to inability to maintain level flight and insufficient altitude to glide to [the nearest airport]; I made the decision to perform a precautionary landing in a farmer's field below us. I performed the landing gear up intentionally and we came to a rest with little damage to the aircraft and very little damage to the farmer's crops. Both I and the student pilot walked away from the landing uninjured. From the time of the recognized power loss to the landing; we were on the ground within 2 minutes.
