Incident Summary

Pilot Account
The pilot reported that after liftoff, the left wing dipped and made contact with soybeans at the end of the runway. Attempting to correct, the pilot stated he overcontrolled and rolled the right wing into the beans. The 180 gallons of insecticide on board were dumped during the sequence. However, the right main gear subsequently struck a terrace and folded, resulting in damage to the wing.
