Departure and Initial Conditions
A Cessna A188A Ag Wagon was preparing for a spray mission from a 3000-foot-long grass strip. The surface was described as soft and wet, and the aircraft was loaded with 900 pounds of seed. During the takeoff roll, the airplane was slow to accelerate.
Pilot Actions and Impact
The pilot indicated that he felt committed to continuing the takeoff when he judged there was insufficient runway remaining to abort the departure. The airplane continued and impacted trees at the departure end of the runway. The collision occurred at an elevation of 50 feet above the ground.
Post-Impact Condition
Following the impact, the left wing remained lodged in the trees. The fuselage, along with the right wing, detached and fell to the ground.
