Narrative:

During the course of applying agricultural chemicals to corn, I struck a set of pwrlines. There was minimal damage to the aircraft and flight characteristics were not affected. There were 2 sets of pwrlines and I struck the second set. I believe some of the contributing factors were poor lighting, reduced visibility, pilot fatigue, and distraction. The map on the reverse side will more accurately depict what happened.
