The aircraft was involved in topdressing operations when it failed to become airborne during the takeoff run. A load jettison was initiated along with the application of full flap, but the aircraft failed to clear a fence. Damage was confined to the hoppe r door and the cockpit floor. Weather conditions were calm and overcast at the beginning of the day's operations but subsequently deteriorated during the day to light showers, with a sudden increase in the tailwind component at the time of the accident.
