Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane had been conducting aerial application flights from a grass airstrip. During the 18th departure from the airstrip, the engine lost partial power during the takeoff roll. The pilot aborted the takeoff; however, insufficient runway remained, and the airplane overran the departure end of the airstrip and collided with trees. The reason for the partial loss of engine power was not determined.
