What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) As per pilot's statement - "at approx. 11:45 am local time, pilot was directed by privacy data omitted, owner, to spray a 100 acre field approx. 3 miles to the west of our airstrip. I then loaded 250 gals of water mixed with orthene, an insecticide into the Grumman ag N6903K, and after performing all standard preflight checks, attempted to take off to the north. At the dp or halfway point down the runway all instruments were in the green and the tail of the aircraft was flying. At the approx. 3/4 point in the runway pilot had enough airspeed to fly and lifted off the runway. Shortly thereafter and for reasons unknown to the pilot, the aircraft refused to lift out of ground effect, stalled, made a 90 degree turn to the right and went sideways into the cotton field. The engine was making power, but the aircraft just seemed to slow down for no apparent reason.
