Jeremy Clarkson has opened up about the future of Diddly Squat farm, revealing that it's proving to be "too risky" to invest money into land.The Grand Tour star is returning to Prime Video for the third series of Clarkson's Farm later this month.
Speaking about the new series at a press Q&A, Jeremy said that the new episodes will see him take on farmhand Kaleb Cooper in a competition to see who can make the most money from Diddly Squat's unfarmed land. "It's me against the man again in season three but the man this time isn't West Oxfordshire District Council - it's Kaleb," he said. "I had this idea that the farm is 1000 acres, which is an average-to-large size farm, but we actually only farm 500 acres of it. "I thought, I wonder if you can make any money out of the bits that aren't farmed.
So I had a competition with Kaleb. I said, You do your farming, you do your wheat and your barley and your rape seed oil. And I'll do little bits and bobs in the woods and in the meadows and see what I can earn." Jeremy added that unfortunately, he was defeated. "I lost - not to put too fine a point on it.
But, it was a fun competition. It ran for all year, but what we really did it for was to highlight the enormous cost that farmers face just to try and get food out of the ground. "Ordinarily, you would spend on the farm like this £40,000 in seed and and fertiliser and slug pellets.
