During agricultural operations for the dispersement of fertilizer, the pilot failed to maintain control of the aircraft. While operating out of a packed dirt and grass, farm runway, the pilot encountered stationary farm equipment in his field of vision. This raised the pilot's level of concern for his safety. The pilot elected to take off at a less than desirable Air speed, with regards tor the fertilizer load and temperature of the day. Unable to separate from ground effect and maintain altitude, the aircraft clipped a barb wire and wooden post fence at approximately 4 1/2 feet AGL. The aircraft continued in a direction approximately 30 degrees to the north of the departure end of the runway. Approximately 125 feet further in this same direction the aircraft contacted another fence of the same constructed material. The aircraft was right wing low at this contact point, causing the outboard leading edge to contact the fence and separate from the aircraft. The outboard leading edge skin was present at the base of the fence during this investigation. The aircraft continued across county road (cr) 391. The right wing and/or the right main gear were making contact with the road as the aircraft continued settling to the ground. On the FAR side of CR391, was another fence of the same construction as the first two, a berm, created from a drainage ditch and a wooden structure with heavy corrugated steel. The aircraft left main gear appeared to contact the berm first with enough impact force to spin the aircraft approximately 180 degrees. The tail wheel appeared to contact the ground with considerable force during the rotation of the aircraft causing the empennage and tail section to buckle in front of the vertical fin leading edge. The left wing came in contact with the wooden and steel structure destroying the outer 8-10 feet of the aircraft left wing. Damages, other than those described, were the propeller and landing gear. There was no post crash fire and the pilot was not injured.
