Hit power line during spraying operation. Overcast conditions caused the wire to be difficult to see with minimal contrast to the terrain. I didn't have enough time to avoid the wires when I saw them. I should have compensated with more situational awareness. Now knowing overcast conditions make wires more difficult to see; I should take more time to observe terrain and obstacles before beginning to spray the field. There are no injuries or damage to report with this minor incident. This incident may have been avoided with better situational awareness.
