On the pilot's third takeoff of the day, the airplane departed the same as the two previous flights. The airplane was downwind of some grain elevators. The airplane had started to lose lift and altitude. He dumped the airplane's chemical load and he said he still would not have enough time to recover because of obstructions. He said that there was a ditch in his flight path and that he decided to put the airplane down there without hurting anyone on the ground. The pilot stated the wings, landing gear, engine, hopper, and fuel tank were damaged in the 'crash'. The wreckage was inspected and no preimpact anomalies were found. The Devils Lake Municipal Airport weather at 2035 was: Wind 110 degrees at 5 knots; visibility 10 statute miles; sky condition clear; temperature 26 degrees C; dew point 17 degrees C; altimeter 29.83 inches of mercury.
Probable Cause: the pilot not attaining a proper climb rate. Factors were the stall/mush and the ditch.
