Narrative:
Was landing at seymour; in (freeman field). On touchdown; caught a slight crosswind which raised the left wheel off the ground and spun plane around and into the rows of corn next to runway. This incident and the damage that resulted to my plane could have been avoided if the corn had not been planted so close to the runway.
