The commercial pilot reported that prior to departure from Runway 33, he loaded 250 gallons of insecticide into the airplane's hopper. The airplane traveled approximately 1,875 feet of the 2,500-foot long grass strip before the pilot rotated for take off. Following rotation, the airplane "seemed to have difficulty gaining airspeed." Subsequently the airplane stalled. When the airplane stalled it turned 90 degrees to the right and impacted terrain. The Density Altitude was calculated to be 1,970 feet.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in a stall. A contributing factor was the high density altitude.
