The 19,368-hour pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, the airplane failed to become airborne from a 2,860-foot asphalt and gravel airstrip. He pulled the emergency hopper dump lever and dumped the liquid fertilizer load. The airplane lifted off the runway, stalled, and dragged the right wingtip on the ground. Subsequently, the airplane exited the departure end of the runway and impacted a 5-foot fence pole with the right wing. The airplane came to rest approximately 150 feet from the departure end of the runway in an upright position when a fire consumed the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to attain adequate airspeed during liftoff resulting in a stall.
