During the takeoff roll the pilot realised that the park brake was still applied. The brake was released, but by this time approximately one third of the strip had been used and the aircraft was not accelerating as it should. The fertilizer was dumped and the aircraft became airborne, but it clipped the fence at the end of the strip with its right wing. The pilot decided to divert to Stratford, where the aircraft was landed safely.
