She is considering selling off part of the farm and using the money to improve visitor accommodation and tracks. It would allow her to take people to the back of the farm in a 4WD vehicle and also free her up to do more of the work she enjoys.
"I would have more time for horses, dogs and guests instead of fixing a fence."
The programme was filmed in May, before June's heavy rain. The weather was fine and the sheep and beef farm looked wonderful.
On air Ms Chisholm told how she moved to the farm five years ago with her husband, and had to buy him out when they split up. She then ran the farm on her own, with Miss Davey's help.
A lot of help has been needed for the last year, after Ms Chisholm "shredded her muscles" in a flat-out day pressing bales during shearing. She wasn't able to do any lifting for a year. Soon after recovering she was back in hospital with concussion, after being bucked off a horse.
She told viewers how a big chunk of her steepest land is now in pine trees, in a joint venture with Horizons Regional Council, and how that has allowed her to increase production on the rest of her farm.
There was footage of her harnessing Clydesdale horses, from her stud, and she spoke of her passion for working them.
It's a slightly different picture now. The June rain has caused many slips on the farm. Some are in the newly planted forest, where trees are now 2m tall. There was also damage to tracks and fences, and Ms Chisholm has applied to the Mayoral Relief Fund for help to fix them.
