Victoria Carey is the editorial director of Graziher and she admits that choosing a favourite episode of our podcast Life on the Land was difficult. Her decision was Maggie MacKellar which she says will come as no surprise to many of you.

"I love Maggie's writing. She is a wonderful wordsmith and I always look forward to our chats about her next column. We love to talk about things that are happening on the farm, what our kids are doing and one of our favourite topics is, of course, when to get back on a horse! Maggie's already doing it but I'm yet to get back on. I really do enjoy our working relationship.

"More than that, when Maggie's story first went to air on ABC TV's Australian Story in 2011, I was so touched by her bravery in talking about what had happened to her and her family. The loss of her husband at such a young age to mental illness was followed closely by the death of her mother from cancer. I really admire her bravery and honesty in talking about this so openly."
