All of America watched as the Flood of '93 left thousands of Midwest families homeless. Heavy rains caused the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to rise up and overflow their banks, swallowing entire towns along the way. Eight million acres of crops were destroyed and 20 million acres were damaged. With their backs already against the wall due to heavy debt and low farm prices, Midwest family farmers had few resources left to deal with the effects of the flooding. In response to the flood, FARM AID created the Family Farm Disaster Fund to support organizations that worked directly with farm families stricken by the flood. When farmers needed help to avoid foreclosure due to losses from the flood, FARM AID-funded groups were there to help them save their farms. FARM AID VI, held in Ames, Iowa on April 24, featured performances by Bruce Hornsby, Bryan Adams, Ringo Starr, Marty Stuart, Martina McBride, the Highwaymen, and Dwight Yoakam.

The most famous photo I've ever taken. Bruce and Neil Young. Neil said, "Bruce, I really like your music."				Here we are at the media tent. The way we got there is a long but really good story.
Driving.	We stopped at Quad City Downs for Bruce.	Not much happening yet. Just wait.	Don't worry... we're going to get into that area soon.
He is pretty happy now that we're getting backstage.		The guy behind Bruce was a total asshole. He kept giving Bruce "rabbit ears" in every picture. The new photos allowed me to cut them out.	Bruce with the girls in our row. A nurse and a daughter. I cut the asshole's fingers off Bruce's head.	WE at the media conference.
Backstage at the media area. It looks like rain but it doesn't happen.	Willie comes out of the media tent after the press conference.	Kris comes out of the media tent.
Our row mates. She was a nurse.		We weren't too far back.		The crowd got bigger and rowdier all day.
At twilight, the TV cameras came on and we saw ourselves on CMT.	The concert went far into the night.
