Amii McKeever.
Last year on the Agricultural Science Association (ASA) international tour to Washington DC, I was chatting with a friend as we waited to go into a meeting. With slight incredulity in his voice, he asked me: “How do you come up with something different to write about every single week? How do you cope with that obligation hanging over you?” I laughed, but I will admit that it played on my mind when I sat down to write the first few pieces. However, I have found that as I go about my life, meeting people and seeing things, the little bits that interest me stick in my head. I am always thinking: “There might be an editorial in that.”
