THE PLT HAD FLOWN 12 SIMILAR LOADS FROM THE 2600 FT RWY THAT SAME DAY. HE STATED THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NOTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE ACFT, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY DURING THE LAST TAKEOFF ROLL. AFTER APRX 2000 FT OF GROUND ROLL, HE DUMPED A PORTION OF HIS LOAD (FERTILIZER) TO CLEAR A DITCH AT THE DEPARTURE END. THE ACFT LIFTED OFF & CLEARED THE DITCH, BUT IT THEN SETTLED. THE SPRAY BOOM CAUGHT THE WHEAT & SPUN THE ACFT AROUND 180 DEG & IT CRASHED. THE PLT ESTIMATED THE ACFT WAS ABOUT 60 LBS BELOW ITS MAX GROSS WT WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
