These Photos were taken on April, 7, 2006

The interest in these pictures has surprised me and I have received several requests to utilize them in some way.  As far as I am concerned you are free to use these in any legal way you like, but I would ask that you credit them correctly, to Dave Willis, Agassiz Crop Management.  I am not posting my email here because of address mining robots, but my contact information may be obtained through the NAICC (National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants) website if needed.

I have worked in the Oslo area for 25 years and there have been several floods in that time similar to this one.  All of these pictures represent people I know and though they have learned to live with these floods, it does not diminish their seriousness.  They represent a real threat to the livelihood of these individuals and families.  Thank you for your interest.
