Jeremy Clarkson Reflects On His £144 Farming Career So Far | Clarkson's Farm

The Diddly Squat Farm Shop

When he sold the potatoes 👍

When is series 2 coming out? Will there be another?

Lisa

WEF in full swing, controlling the food chain

Next year will get even worse, more CO2 emission bans which will disrupt farming across all of Europe. Food prices are going to sky rocket!!!!

Spend less money on frivolous shit perhaps?

The question is not "what are farmers going to do?" the question is "what are farmers doing at the moment?" 144pounds profit is no incentive at all to do thing the right way. Quality is probably at the all time lowest already and much worse to come.

they go back to colonization again?

And me too From Australia 🇦🇺

the french told me about clarkson, the memories are once more

when french support a brit, you know the governments and leftists city shits have messed up

Same here

Same here, prayers for our farmers around the world From Virginia in the USA

French agreeing with a brit is a rare sight indeed

even dutch agriculture... 2nd food exporter in the world despite being the most populated european country while being a postal sized stamp of a country, the govourment does everything to destroy it. its litterally batshit insane

its so sad when farming is quite literally the backbone of every community. WIthout farms there would literally be no food (well no food on the shelvs) and we would have to farm our own food (and even then alot of houses in urban ears barely have a garden in the UK!). Farmers deserve so much more!

@@jimmys1558 the worst thing about it ,is that they are sending billions of € to a country nobody fucking cares. They are waiting on that country to give back ressources in the future but probably will not do anything to pay back what they have taken from us. Farmers should've been paid correctly instead of giving out money to waste, no farmers = no food, no food = we dead.

@@jimmys1558 "most populated european country" What? If you don't count Russia and Turkey then Germany is the most populated european country, not the Netherlands. I assume you mean most densely populated european country? Because if so then yes!... If you ignore The Vatican, San Marino, Malta and Monaco

It’s all coordinated and done on purpose

I can't wait

What impact had it? Not from the UK, just want to know

Xd

@@qasimahmed3301 I'm not from the UK either but I agree with this man not only British farming but shines a light on farmers globally as hard working and under appreciated

is there even going to be a next season?

When has politician ever done something for the farmer?

@@neurocidesakiwi Although the video literally answered this question within the first minute, showing your inability to absorb even the most basic information, a large number of first world countries hand out subsidies to farmers as a way to ensure they remain at least somewhat profitable. These subsidies are driven entirely by government policy in almost all instances, so the meal you eat tonight is likely, partly, paid for by a politician's decision making to do "something for the farmer." Hopefully this response has helped you understand, even at a very rudimentary level, how a politician may have done something for the farmer at some point.

@@keyhole150 oh youre the type of person to call other ppl stupid while advocating living off the government

@@TobyW360 Nope, stuck paying 35% income tax like most of us unfortunately. I hate gov and politicians as much as the next person does, but as someone in Ag myself, it's facetious to say there's nothing done to help us, we need the help because giant corps have pretty much bled our profits dry (in Aus at least)

Really? Wanna swap out you government subsidies for Jeremy Clarksons kind words? Didn't think so. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely on the farmers side and 100% support those subsidies, but ungratefulness is never pretty.

Who cares

@@HaHa-bc4zr clearly you dont, and clearly someone who wrote this comment does. Go away train not being an ass somewhere thats not public place

Lose*. I hate when people write loose. Did you know loose is a different word with a different meaning? Sort your life out please mate. Think about it before you type it.

@@Peterviegal Goddamn seriously? Its a tiny detail in a fully functional sentence it does not matter.

@@finland2306 No, I have had it with you lot! It's a different word altogether. It's like calling you a fuckwit instead of a good bloke. Different meanings.

Kaleb would be a great young fisherman so much drive and enthusiasm! Good luck to all you real people.

Indeed. So much awareness has effectively been brought to British farming because it. Can't wait for season 2!

Found the show to be pretty enjoyable

I believe season 2 is planned to be 'done' by january 2023. Not sure when it will air, though.

Season 2 is already done i think, if not its almost done then 4-6 months editing then it will be out

subsidy isn't nearly as important as opening trade and letting farmers find resources without government meddling in the economy, of which drives up their costs. Subsidy is nothing more than marxism lite.

Agree......agree......agree!

yeah, very good journalism or even just good TV

The Clown and Herald should be the name of his farm pub

@@jameswood1935 Maybe "Jester" would be more fitting with Herald then, but I'd have a pint there.

That’s well put

you predicted season 2

That’s why there is the subsidy for bad years. Not for topping up there profit every year, it’s for when it goes wrong. Farming is hardwork, who said it was an easy life, that’s why they’re celebrated. However the farmers I know are quite happy to pass the hard work onto someone else for shit salaries based on performance, and they’re using the subsidies to go on 6 holidays a year and buy the latest Range Rover.

If I can give you one word of advice, my friend, unless you are independently wealthy and able to pay your tuition in cash and have no need of working to make a living after you graduate, get out of the vet program. There are approximately 8 full on, board certified vets in the US for every one vet job/clinic that produces a bare living wage but all those degree holders are still stuck paying back their monstrous student loans, even though most never work in the field or make any money from their degree. The universities realized there were a bunch of girls who love animals and could be convinced a vet degree would allow them to have a career as an animal savior and the girls just ate it the fuck up and flocked into and flooded the vet programs. Now there are a zillion vets and none of them are working but more girls are still drinking the cool-aide and still signing up for student loans that will mean they likely will have to chose between buying a modest house and having kids, they won't be able to afford to have both, even with a high earning husband. Men are discovering, by the way, that girls with excessive student loans are the kiss of death, just like single mothers are. So give your future the best chance it can have, do anything but continue on in the vet program. Even a Mcdonalds employee with a little financial savvy will end up with a better financial outcome than almost all vet degree holders.

​@@squarepinapples9116Yep. Most of the owners are filthy rich and suffer from a serious case of "survivor bias". They get lucky with their first couple crops and all of a sudden they act like they took a million risks and worked 20 hour shifts their whole lives to get there, it's just the funniest thing. I only feel bad for the other ones, the ones that actually work.

@@squarepinapples9116 subsidies are the wrong tool for the job, there are plenty of other tools to de-risk agriculture, future markets are extremely good at price discovery so you don't over produce driving profit to 0, setting up insurance scheme like the rest of the private market has for disaster relief, it's far better than incentivizing inefficient land usage.

the struggle in farming is universal sadl, even in my home country of india if you worked hard 365 days a year for 50 years straight you still couldn't afford to buy the land that your farm would be situated on, let alone the equipment and expenses.

Why do farms make so little? Genuine question. I've never thought they didnt make money i always thought the opposite in fact. That it was pretty lucrative

To be fair, dairy is one of those markets that is artificially made in the US. Before WW2 and prohibition, it didn’t even exist. And then it was artificially floated by the government buying milk all the way up until reagan. The got milk campaign was literally a government psyop to float the diary market. The fat electrician has a good video on it

so why doesn't he quit?

I think as well as the current battle that is being fought there needs to be more innovation to monetise farming, and for farmers to sell produce more directly

Can’t imagine what it’s like for them this year with the summer with no rain and fuel increases and price increases

Yes the weather can really screw up a farmers income.

Famers are the Biggest Gamblers in the World. Most of the time, it's " All in" for them. Until my Parents broke the chain, the family on both sides were farmers for 5 generations, but my parents ensured we knew how to farm and take care of animals. Some of the hardest work I have ever done but also some of the most rewarding.

We all get screwed thanks to this government. Not just farmers .

@@cooper512 I have a couple mates who run farms and certainly for them it's actually been a decent year so far. However that is largely due to their seeds, pesticides etc having been bought at the old prices (which are now way higher) but then being able to sell the end product at the higher rates. It's the year after that they're dreading as their prices are insanity for the supplies now and there's no guarantee that they'll be getting the higher prices for end product after harvest.

Thank you for feeding us.

@@beatamafulu2405 My Pleasure!

Same as being a fisherman

Our governments need to put our farmers first. Not other countries!

I hear you - I lived with a farmer mate of mine for a year in my early 20s, going through the finances in the farm office was pretty sobering stuff. That poor guy inherited the farm at 17 years old along with 400,000 pounds in debt. I am please to say however that he's turned it around in the 20 years since then but god he had to grow up quickly. Sadly, he did so not so much by farming, but through other business ventures - converting and renting out cottages, building a couple of houses on his land and selling those, renting our barns to historic vehicle groups, renting his fields out for arable. He still rears sheep, makes cider and breeds pigs, but that is more out of the love of it than anything else.

"never held a still born calf with a broken heart" - yet you'd happily see them milked until they are exhausted, and/or sent to an early grave for a bit of cash in your pocket. OK.

Honestly this has been a joy to watch and allowed tons of people to become way more educated in farming.

theyre all so agenst farming due ideology

@@The_Situationnothing wrong with that kid

@@yeshuaislord6880 No, there's isn't, but let's be honest what the broken heart is for: lost profit.

What can we do for farmers?

buy directly at the farm instead of at stores would be a good start I think, go to the farm for your eggs, potatoes, milk, cheese buy anything from the farm that you could also buy in a store@@manny7662

buy local! @@manny7662 I can't stress this enough but my family runs a family farm as an additional income and what keeps us going is that we can sell our produce on our doorstep beef, cheese, home made alcohol, potatoes .... stuff like that! we have regular costumers, people who buy from us because they are sure that what they get is GOOD sop if you can. buy local and directly from farmers!

@@manny7662nothing, increase the price and other low income people suffer. Crop prices are the backbone of economy especially in developing country.

​@@manny7662why should we do something for them? If theres too many food, why should we help farmers make more food.

This is the reason why my two sons never took up farming ,a lot of hard work for no reward

Imagine if Jeremy ran as an independent for the House of Commons & during Question Time, he got stuck-into all those "Trouser Leg Rolled Up & Drive a Lexus Lodge" politicians who have been making all these anti-farming laws for decades?

@@mrbillhilly343 God, if someone told me 5 years ago that I would genuinely think that Clarkson of all people would make a positive impact in the House of Commons I would have called you mad

I don't know, what's changed. Like 2 years from now what can we say is different because of this show. A few more people have an appreciation of how farmers are milked?

@@billytheripper4 and in the same two years we’ve stopped eating European food and started eating American

he showed how valuable farmers are to everyone.

Life ain't easy for anyone self employed 👊🏻 unless your a bugler, drug dealer, or immigrant 🤷‍♂️ fact

@@Tso007 bro what the fuck is up with the "immigrant"? Like you listed it in with real criminalys wtf bro you serious?

This. That's what makes it for me, it felt authentic. So many people blindly praise the Grand Tour but it never really felt like those early Top Gear days. It was too over the top, too reliant on spectacle and faked shenanigans. Clarkson's farm showed us something genuine with Jeremy learning how to manage his farm for real. Looking forward to series 2.

The ONLY original and authentic series really. I'm pleased though. If he can learn, everyone can

@@annnee6818 have you not seen the work he did on the Victoria Cross & the greatest raid of all?

@@matthewmac5787 Agreed. His wartime documentaries are incredible, interesting, and deeply sincere.

@@jdms2830 Stop right there! You've violated the law, criminal scum.

Something something U-Boats.

@@user-io4sr7vg1v If you control someone's food supply you can much more easily control their actions. Thus a secure food supply is essential for the security of a free nation. Beyond that if a nation has its food supply cut or restricted then there will come a point where that nation's people will overthrow their leadership in order to restore the food supply.

It's part of the bigger plan. Farms need to be shut down so that people starve and die. The Great Reset to save the planet and re-introduce wild bore and award Greta a Damehood.

@d c Coming to you too so don't get smug.

@@user-io4sr7vg1v "Security is Security, Food is Food" is a Ministry of Truth line. Seeing food as a potential nation security issue is a historically proven fact especially in the UK's case as we have seen not once but twice in modern history where the cut off in imports via U-Boats threatened the food supply of the nation let alone all other goods. Now is it the largest security issue? No it's not for many nations but that doesn't mean it isn't something that can be ignored.

It won’t be the same when all three of them are gone.

aye pray his health is good to him

I dread it.

they are started to recording 3rd season i hope they will release 2nd one soon

Hello fellow Virginian, God Bless the Farmer and may all of Congress stop braying long enough to support domestic food production

@@michaelbitzer6827 The elite want us to hate consumerism that's sustained us for over 150 years. Who allowed all the illegal immigration, outsourcing and monopolization of corporations? WW2 veterans, Silents, and Boomers! May they all burn in hell for their apathy.

@@michaelbitzer6827 Amen to that. Interesting choice of words, “braying”. Last time I heard that said of a noisy jack ass was several years ago from my grandfather. Luckily he is still alive at 96. Clean farm living served him well. God bless brother.

If farming pays so little, why is Bill Gates buying up (aparantly) so much farmland in the US ?

@@andyh0010 He wants to return farming to a more sustainable program and doing that as well as wildlife management is best done on large tracts of land

Kaleb is the 4th Presenter!!

After this experience I don't think he will return to any city permanently. There is too much of an emotional investment in the farm.

😂

Yes, I'm in France and the situation is most likely very similar to the one in the UK, farmers are killing themselves every day because they just cannot survive with how little money they get and how high the bills are There is no way within 10 years we will be able to feed ourselves without other countries Our various government from the left to the right all killed agriculture and now it's slowly but surely dying

Just see what happened with Russia, because they don't provide us with the electricity, and gas anymore, most of Europe is screwed. Everything has gone up price wise except for the salaries... Loads of places are closing up shop because its just too expensive to keep going. I hope this serves as a wakeup call to most places, and they start to get atleast 80% self sufficient, so we don't get these problems again. I live in Denmark, arguably one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and we are just as fucked as everybody else.....

To be fair, it's not like farms are being stopped, they're just not being owned by independent farmers. Now it's all big companies that can absorb losses and run in deficit to kill off the competition.

Meanwhile, in Australia we have 25 million people and can feed 65 million.

@@yt.personal.identification In an episode of Top gear, they showed one farm that was half the size of England..... so Yea , I will Believe that, and if you ate the DANGEROUS insects too, you could probably feed half the planet.

Lovely personality.

😂🤣not anymore, bye bye Jeremy 👋😂

yup, and all the construction work. The farm shop, access road to it, parking for it. The new fencing for the sheep, the pond and creek. Not all of it will ever repay itself, but a lot of it will over a few years start bringing in a positive cash flow.

Exactly. That's really amazing. He's into good money as his expenses come down a bit; weather permitting, etc. Also, you can't neglect the fact that he's paid wages to a shepherd, wages to a couple farm hands, and so on. They are as much the farmers needing support as he is. A lot of good got done in that year. Really impressive.

Actually non of the equipment was new, it was all used. Also it's pretty big farm, as per European standards, and Caleb seams to know what he is doing so amount of crops to sell was decent. Im not trying to diminish his achievement, but if it were new machines figures he showed would have to be multiplied by 3 or 4, depending on pice, leading to serious debt.

@@tjurzyk it's still a significant expense up front.

Actually on the machines the spread the costs. So he bought his tractor for 40k. Let's say they think he will own it for 4 years. They account it has 10k a year

well, he spent a lot of money on machinery which he only needs to buy once for many years(including a lambo tractor), but yeah

But he did made a hell lot of mess up.. i think the only thing he did right was wheat.. I have a farming background and although it was very entertaining..he did make quite costly mistakes.. especially buying those sheeps .. trust me goats would have been a lot lot lot better..

Like someone else has said, Clarkson incurred many fixed capital expenses and also had his fair share of accidents. More to the point, though, I don’t get this whole “protect our farms” thing. It’s just as well to buy your wheat, eggs, and whatnot from Brazil, Ukraine, or even the United States (who also “protects” their farmers). If it’s a question of money, then sell the farm and go into engineering, or finance, or whatever. In the richest countries like Britain, US, Japan, etc., what gets these countries where they are is the fact that people leave behind low-value activities such as farming in favor of high value ones like banking and technology. If Britain lost all of its farms, nobody outside the farming community could care less. I’m not from Britain, and so I wasn’t even aware Britain still really has farms, so that makes Clarkson’s achievement appear beyond brilliant in my estimation.

That is only because of his outlay and spending to get the business up. No one makes money in at first for a new business especially when he's bought multiple farming equipment far too big for the farm and built multiple buildings and car parks etc the future. I don't feel sorry for him as just this program would have covered everything financially and now it all profit. Especially his farm shop which year doing really well

Well this has always been the goal of Capitalism. To focus all Wealth into the Hands of very few. The Wealth has to come from somewhere, so any REAL job that generates any REAL wealth like farming, production and craftsmanship gets paid like dirt because of hundreds of laws and social forces that have worked on this for the last 100 Years. So we reach today in which any carrier in something requiring (High) education, that is massively expensive, that literally only exists to manipulate imaginary numbers or bullshit poor people, generates millions for those in the right birth rank and everybody else gets slowly bleed out like a pig in a slaughter house. And once you can't afford to hold to your ancestors Land anymore, they will buy it off you cheaper than can possibly believe, making sure that the REAL wealth (Land, Possessions and influence) will always be held solely by the few born high enough. You can take away the Nobles titles and supposed lawfull power but you can't take away the fact that they are old money. And Old Money doesn't care what you call it, as long as it rules the world. PS: Fun fact not anit-royal (I am german and i find it funny that basically all still existing Royal families in the World are German to some degree^^) nor anti open market economy.(Capitalism and Communism are not actually directly comparable because the first is a mindset and philosophy of action within an Economic system and Communism IS an Economic system, different from the one humans have used since the dawn of civilization, I hate both since the are both crap.)

Humility? Lol! JC is a national treasure, brilliant on his day but humble he's not.

He picked the worst time to be a farmer, as governments want them all shutdown.

@@rorykeegan1895 im still yet to see why this opinion exists, he's endlessly self deprecating and yet people call him arrogant

@@rorykeegan1895 Clarkson as humble ,,,,sarcasm ,,,,,,

@@RWoody1995 He has a certain smugness about him, but it's part of his character in The Trio.

The genuine desire to feed people (in the Western world at least), seems to be the most impossible thing anybody would ever attempt. Having people literally scream murder at you whilst you actually keep them alive day to day must be the strangest thing to ever experience. God Bless you all.

And then think about farmers in poor countries that don't get the subsidies, and then wonder why, like the farmers in Afghanistan, they resort to crops that are illegal in western countries.

The Farmers around here in Cowbridge multi millionaires, since when have you seen a poor farmer, howells just done a mobile milk shed

This. Anyone of them (argueably James May is the one the most in need of the other two as he's quite booring/unfunny unless he has Clarkson and Hammond to play off on) alone make for meh/decent entertainment (Clarkson is the most capable out of the 3 to make one grin). But all 3 together is entertainment perfection.

Its not red tape killing farming, its leaving the EU and all those juicy subsidies thats killing it, oh, wait, the tories said they'll replace them......I wouldn't hold your breath.

You probably don't even know which supposed "red tape" is killing farming. Just regurgitating tired talking points with very little thought.

​@@bannjaxx And it's not just killing farming, importing and exporting have increased the "red tape" threefold and for a lot of people and most importantly companies in the EU it's not worth the faff. This is going to be much worse than it is even now. The NHS is near collapse or has collapsed already. My friend's dad has some autoimmune disorder, he can barely swallow, losing weight and despite moving heaven and hell he won't be able to see a specialist for at least four months. If he makes it that far... soooo thanks, Boris.

@@bannjaxx Yeah haven't heard the leader of the labours (can't remember his name) say he'll keep the UK farming subsidy. Why can't people just pay the real price of food anyway then we wouldn't need subsidies.

​@@annnee6818 As if ferocious supermarket competition for the last 25 years and driving down food prices so the public can buy food at rock bottom prices hadn't pretty much put the writing on the wall already for British family farming. I can't find figures for the percent of UK food that is exported but as we are only 60% self sufficient in food, decreasing exports to high tariff eu countries and consuming it ourselves is an option to help with food security. Indeed there is a drive to do this with trying to sell fish other than cod or haddock to the public instead of selling it to Europe, we just deal with the British public's fussy unexperimental relationship 'thing' it has with food first.
