‘Want to make it work’ Jeremy Clarkson reflects on ‘emotional’ lack of profit on his farm

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, looked back at all he’s accomplished with the biggest challenge he’s ever taken on, and he has got no intention of giving it up. The newbie farmer and his 1,000 acre farm Diddly Squat, have become staples in the Cotswold countryside, and it’s safe to say Jeremy has outdone himself.

And what’s even better, is that he actually enjoys doing it, despite the major pitfalls in profit.

But the controversial presenter, who has won awards for his farming contributions, put the money aspect of it aside, and decided to focus on the thrill instead.

In his new column for The Times, Jeremy weighed up how much money he could make selling the ginormous estate in the heart of the country, but pointed out he isn’t bothered by doing that.

“People say I’m not emotional but the whole reason I’m doing this is emotional,” he shrugged.

The presenter’s enthusiasm for the project was not matched by Charlie, who made it clear it would be “disastrous”.

It comes after he announced the crop plan he’d devised, which included three types of wheat, two types of oilseed rape, echium, potatoes, grassland for the cows and winter barley.

But spring barley, which Jeremy needed in order to make his lager, was missing.

“I don’t know why beer has to be made from barley that’s planted in March rather than September, but it does. And Charlie had left it out,” he revealed.
