What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During the takeoff roll from a Remote airstrip that was 50' to 60' wide, the airplane drifted right of centerline to avoid a stack of hay bales located aprox 1000' down the runway and 20'-40' from the left side of the airstrip. The right outboard section of the spraybar attached under the right wing got caught in the wheat on the right side of the airstrip. The pilot then lost control of the airplane and got pulled to the right, into the wheat field.
