THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WERE TREES ON THE EAST END OF THE FIELD THAT HE WAS FERTILIZING AND THE WIND WAS FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 15, GUSTING 20 KTS. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHEN HE WAS TURNING TO GO INTO THE FIELD, A GUST OF WIND FROM UNDER THE HIGH WING WAS ENCOUNTERED, AFTER ENCOUNTERING THE GUST, THE PLANE NEARLY BECAME INVERTED. DURING RECOVERY, THE PILOT STARTED DUMPING HIS LOAD, BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PLANE LIGHT ENOUGH TO FLY BEFORE GROUND IMPACT.
