WHILE ON A FLT TO DISPENSE ORTHENE, A FILL LINE BEGAN LEAKING INTO THE COCKPIT. AFTER DISPENSING THE LOAD & WHILE RETURNING TO THE LANDING AREA AT ABOUT 30 FT AGL, THE PLT REACHED BELOW THE SEAT TO CHECK THE LEAK. WHILE HE WAS BENDING OVER TO LOCATE THE LEAK, THE ACFT FLEW INTO A BEAN FIELD. HE STATED THAT BEFORE HE LOOKED BACK OUT OF THE ACFT, THE RIGHT WING CAUGHT THE BEAN VINES & PULLED THE PLANE INTO THE FIELD.
