The pilot was conducting an aerial clean-up run over a crop of tomatoes, which involved flying under a main set of powerlines and a branch line. As he was flying under the branch line, he began to pull up and then realised the aircraft was in the path of a main line. He attempted to go under the line, but the aircraft contacted the line with the rudder, part of which was severed. The pilot then conducted a forced landing in an area which was found to be unsuitable for landing, resulting in further damage to the aircraft.
