KALEB Cooper has sparked even more concern among Clarkson’s Farm fans after an extremely worrying update.
Jeremy Clarkson previously took to social media with an extremely bleak post about his farm.
The former Top Gear presenter first gave viewers an insight into his passion for farming in 2021 when launched his popular programme on Prime Video.
Despite the meteoric success of Clarkson’s Farm on-screen, behind the scenes it’s a completely different story.
The show follows his struggles as he attempts to manage the 1,000-acre plot of Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton.
Kaleb, 25, is Jeremy’s right hand man on the show and he regularly posts updates for their loyal fans from the Cotswolds.
The team are powering on with filming the fourth season of the show but the star has given an insight into a major problem they face.
He posted an image onto his Instagram story as he worked the land using one of the many large tractors.
The vehicle created two long mud trails, but they were completely filled with murky water as the fields were completely flooded.
He sarcastically captioned the snap: “Great year we have had.”
This comes after Jeremy opened up on how the farm faced the familiar weather foe with an insight into just how hard they were hit.
Taking to Instagram, Diddly Squat’s account shared an aerial snapshot which highlighted how many of their crops have been jeopardised by the recent downpour.
Alongside the snap, the caption read: “It’s going to be a rough year. All that seed sowed, drowned with the constant rain.”
Jeremy has actively attempted to diversify his farm ahead of the upcoming instalment of the global hit factual entertainment show.
He wanted to use some of his biggest fields to grow a herbal ley called GS4, something that one cannot eat in order to try and get a government subsidy.
He revealed that since series three of the show, 20 per cent of the land on the site won’t be used to produce any food but will help make them a profit as they focus on environmentally friendly schemes.
He previously claimed in The Sunday Times: “I could use chemicals but they are bad for the soil and, we are told, bad for the nation’s streams and rivers. It’s better and cheaper, therefore, to use cow muck.
“But that means keeping cows and that, again, is a global warming no-no apparently because of their endless burping and farting.
“There are pages and pages and pages of rules and regulations on [government subsidies], and I’ll be honest I haven’t read many (any) of them because that’s Cheerful Charlie’s job. But what I do know is that this year the biggest field on the farm is being used to grow a herbal ley called GS4.
“And all you need to know about this is: you can’t eat it.
“The second biggest field has been given over to rye grass and you can’t eat that either. But the government pays me to do this because less farming is needed, which means I’m producing less carbon dioxide. And I’m helping to replenish the nitrogen content of the soil. Which I approve of.”
Previous instalments of the show have shown some of huge setbacks that Jeremy and his team have faced.
This includes losing newborn piglets, emotion after the heifers were sent to the slaughterhouse, and opposition from the local council to parts of his business.
Clarkson's Farm began streaming in 2021 and follows Jeremy Clarkson and his team managing Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds. Here's a 'who's who' of faces in the Clarkson's Farm cast.
