Clarksons done more for british farmers in one show than the government has done for 30 years.
Or "Townie-file"
@@g8ymw Yep. I think it's the best thing he's done. Ok maybe the 10k supercar challenge episode on TG but that was just entertainment. This series hopefully has woken people up to the huge problems farming has had recently, especially the last two years. Rain on Sunday btw!
Well said
@@g8ymw Country file has never been an accurate representation of British farming.
@BenJervis62 He showed people how difficult farming is with regards to maintaining and planting crops as well raising livestock. He also showed how financially hard farming can be if you actually watch the final episode of the series. That and he showed the stupid amout of government bureaucracy you have to deal with folks such as DEFRA.
“I’ve met some people from the government now, they’re not impressive.” - Jeremy Clarkson. My favorite new quote.
@Vivienne March they're not. and it's the people in the background who end up having to fix the mess and actually try to get things done. the civil servants and uniformed day staff etc. not the ones on tv and in the news.
That is an organisation that needs completely restructuring.
Politicians should be experts from the field they represent, not "career" politicians with no real world experience and no clue.
All parties are a shambles.
@@ixifutureproof9286 sadly that's not how it works. the real talent gets really occasional financial rewards. nothing remotely close to the absurd money mp's make. and what's more, they're not very well incentivised to stick around because of contractors being brought in to inevitably replace them or automate their whole jobs out of existence.
if government spent less on contractors (i.e. lining the pockets of their family and friends on the boards of such companies!) and more on keeping their existing talent, they'd get so much more done, staff would benefit so much more, and government would save money hand over fist. but that's just my expert opinion. what the hell would i know about any of it.
Clarkson made an extremely good point when he said that if the grants stop being given to farmers, the Government should not interfere.
@@ixifutureproof9286 100% correct. That's why the union i am in the CWU which helped found the Labour Party have organised a grass roots campaign to find the next Labour MP's because "Modern Politics are full of career politicians who have totally lost touch with the people they represent". As Billy Connolly said "The desire to become a politician should forever disqualify you from becoming one..."
'cause he's a bloody good lad, this one'
that was from the heart and that sums it all up to me!
Ever thought that it was because…..he knows what he’s doing and he’s the one doing the work ?
@@mikehutchison4892 Have you ever thought that Kaleb was hired by Jeremy because Clarkson interviewed a lot of people, and decided to hire someone that he both: got along with, and in some way admired, professionally?
fr, if Jeremy ever said that to me i think i would be in tears
@@mikehutchison4892 Ever thought that Jeremy himself knows that as he mentioned multiple times in this very video?
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Love him or not, Clarkson is a serious asset to the UK
I'm ashamed to admit that 30 years ago I was irked by the guy. I grew up. He's a national treasure and I also have so much respect for him.
Agree 👍🏻
He should be wrapped in bubble wrap and protected at all costs
Its brilliant that he is using his fame to make people aware of the problems us British farmers face. I am happy to have Clarkson representing us!
You have been subsidised by the public since 1947 ! You only produce 60% of our food,the other 40% has to be imported ! 70% of the U.K. is agricultural land,of which 50% - 33% is only used to grow food for animals ! You have decimated our wildlife,flowers,polluted our rivers……but want to hunt foxes and shoot the 57 million game birds released each year !
@@mikehutchison4892 man you prob work 9 to 5 and googled farm stats
@@mikehutchison4892 Just to clarify a little about you blaming me for "You have been subsidised by the public since 1947" - I wasn't even born then! When you say "our rivers" - which ones exactly are yours, could post a list please? I don't care that much, but would be interesting to know more about you.
@@mikehutchison4892 you sound like one of those brainwashed students that has been indoctrinated through school and university and watches to much bbc /MSM rubbish.
@@mikehutchison4892 You just stay in your city job, with your clean manicured hands, pressing your little plastic buttons on your PC , you know fuckall! PS the birds you speak of are bred for shooting, they are not destroying the wild life population!!
The way he’s clutching that award you can tell it means a lot to him.
Or is he covering a brand on it?
@@MartinBradyRallyCoDriver or he is absolutely blootered
@@sgtsnugggles5116 more like what I was thinking 😂😂
Think it was because he was tanked 😂😂
i was actually thinking maybe he is kinda ashamed that he got an award for farming when there are so many more deserving, like Kaleb, let him show off his award and let me hide mine... but ofc i maybe wrong xD
Clarkson becoming a champion for farming (or anything for that matter) is amazing.
He genuinely cares, non schtick, no angles, great chemistry.
This is probably the best reality-documentary crossover there is or there ever was.
It is genuinely relevant, meaningful, and it affects everyone.
Boldly go, Jeremy and Caleb.
If Clarksons farm doesn't become a 5 series show I'll be upset. Just the first series alone has taught me so much out British farming, and now I don't buy anything that isn't British farmed.
5 series show? I look forward for the next 30 series show.
Totally! Now when I drive past a tractor in a field me and my missus both say “cultivating”
@@stevenpaddybwoy
I always give them way so they don’t loose too much time waiting for someone to let them go.
All we need now is east European hands to bag it and pop it on the shelf.
@@BazIrvine No we need the lazy and feckless to have their benefits stopped so they can do it.
I’ve always loved to watch Clarkson on top gear and the grand tour, but I was so impressed and so entertained watching Clarkson and Kaleb on the farm. I think Clarkson has been one of the best things that could have ever happened to farming and agriculture.
Yeah. He has shown how hard it is and how little anyone in big towns realises what has to be put in to get crops and livestock on their plates. Harry Meaden also does a good show - Harry's Farm.
I dunno about the best thing that's happened to farming, Farming Simulator 2022 is looking pretty sweet. :)
I applaud JC for his magnificent work in highlighting the critical issues surrounding farming & the countryside to us city troglodytes.
And it’s ridiculous that farmers should be held at the mercy of govt bureaucrats who prob know as much about the countryside as me.
It’s also grossly unfair that farmers should remain at bottom of the pile when it comes to reaping the financial rewards for the work put in to produce food.
Think farmers, through the BFA, need to start collectively working their way up the value chain instead of letting the supermarket brands monopolise the retailing space.
@@baddalmatian99 he voted out the EU & thats killing our farmers
He's a bit like Boris, in the sense that he's not quite the blithering, bumbling idiot that he's made out to be...There's a sharp, analytical mind in there.
That nearly made me cry at the end of the video... when Jeezer says" He's a bloody good lad this one!!" my dad says that to me... and I'm 50!
clarckson was impressed from the 1st interview he did with caleb, after listing all his endeavors, jeeza asked how old are you, im 21. jeeza was smitten, finally!
So ur dad ded
Soory
You know what? You are a bloody good lad!
You're very lucky. Me and my Dad don't speak. I'd love for him to say that about me but he's not a good man. Cherish your old man
Kaleb: He never listens
Jeremy: carful
Kaleb even louder: He never ever listens
clarkson is a true gentleman for giving the spotlight to caleb. total class act. true humility. i, for one, will watch any show that clarkson does just to help support him
YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.
Agreed I'll listen to or watch anything clarkson does really. The man has his flaws like everyone else but he's an absolute treasure. Hope he comes up with a podcast or something. (becasue that's really cheap to do and means endless hours of clarkson for everyone)
It really feels like Jeremy has taken Kaleb under his wing now that the kid’s suddenly become a bit of a celebrity.
Great ambassadors for British farming and its future. Love Jeremy, he's met the government and he's not impressed. I'd say the same.
Heard he likes new Zealand lamb.😁😁😁😁
@@terryfinnie2146 I think he will come around to organic farming. Big smiles!
@@michaelscofield6721 Is that all you can come up with? People with common sense throw the race card back at the person that threw it first.
Me too , they are insufferably dull and stupid
@@michaelscofield6721 And?
Jeremy and Kaleb are great ambassadors for the farming community, highlighting the hardships endured by british farmers, they're putting farming back on the map.
Give it 20 years and farms will be obsolete. Food will be made in factories using factory grown ingredients and probably factory grown animals.
Well Reece you are the first person along with everybody else that can do any thing about that, insist on food grown by farmers only and don't buy any of that factory grown plastic artificial crap that those halfwit vegans are trying to push down our throats!
yip, and your Tory government will harm farmers even more...because they get bribes from the big food producers, who cant allow amateurs on the fields!
@@reecereece890 The thing is farming as it is for the population we have is not sustainable it's just not we do need to change farming some of it is letting farmers react better to the conditions where they are instead of having some stupid blanket policy for all farms. Yet equally is fundamental changing how we farm. Skyscraper farms is the future for certain crops, Low water, low fertilizer, low chemical farming, wilding like we see on the program is the only way forward.
We need to support farmer but and I hate to say it. We also need to push these stubborn stick in the mud who go "It's been done this way for 10 generation i'm not changing it one little bit" out of the way because things have changed and some of the old way can no longer work.
Over here in the state our aquifers are going dry from farming It took in some cases it's thought to of taken hundred of thousands of years for them to fill and we have pumped them dry in spots in a few centuries.
YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.
Once again Clarkson turns up looking like he was dipped in glue and thrown through a charity shop window, then 'tells it how it is', bigs up Kaleb (and quite rightly so) calls himself a learner (humble to the heart about the fact), praises his whole farming team, slams the government (justly), urges us to 'buy British'........ and promotes the wider farming community👍
The man is just fantastic on a new level, can't wait for series 2,
All power to you Jeremy and Team!
Another gentle reminder, the Guardian gave Clarkson's Farm a 1 star review.
Must have had their eyes closed without realising, again.
Typical Guardian.
I don't even use it to line the cats litter tray - It doesn't deserve that kind of luxury.
An endorsement...🤣
Top marks to Jeremy for using his fame to highlight the great work British farmers do. Kaleb you are such a joy to watch.
Won't matter much when the UK is flooded with cheap beef and lamb from the other side of the planet. Well done, Brexit-supporting chumps.
Clarkson is simply a thoroughly decent human being, when he talks, people should listen.....there will come a day when they won't be able to.
He's super humble, really. Top lad.
It’s only the leftist that don’t like him , but they don’t like anyone who’s not sticking their body parts to the M25
Yes, a thoroughly true racist.
@@terryfinnie2146 Terry, a thorughly true salty bitter helmet
@@terryfinnie2146 evidence?
I love the. humility in this, Clarkson could easily turn this into "how great am I", instead he rightly calls out all involved and uses the situation he finds himself in to draw attention to all in the Team and more importantly, the wider farming community.
Doff my cap to you sir.
Real talk for a second. "Im so great" thing is a "presenter persona" of Jeremy. Yes he might have confidence to believe in himself. But in many interviews he has done. He is very down to earth. Plus he most likely knew how much good he can do with his speech at such events and help all of the UK farmers. So very smartly he decided to be serious about it :)
Who would have thought Mr. Bombastic would someday become a big ambassador for some of the most under appreciated people in the UK?
I have to say it is absolutely remarkable the transformation this fellow has gone through in terms of moving from being merely very entertaining to actually being purposeful and trying to make a positive difference. Lots have said it but I will too, by making this tv series and, because of his prior fame and his talents, making it successful, many people are for the first time getting an idea of what it takes to put food on the table.
yeah you may want to go back and watch some of trips even on the Grand Tour and Top Gear, yeah it was mostly about cars but every now and then he would expose things that wasn't supposed to be seen and made us all think differently... hes actually a very down to earth person and actually cares about things and not the rich idiot everyone tells you that he is.. hes been doing it for yrs and that is the main reason why the BBC will never allow him to host another show or documentary or interview where he has an opinion..
Did you just call Jeremy "merely very entertaining"? 🤔🤔
Sounds like you might be new to Jeremy's serious side. I implore you to seek out three things which will give you a new appreciation for him. "The Greatest Raid of all" , "The Victoria Cross: For Valour" and "Great Britons: Isambard Kingdom Brunel". These are subjects he has huge passion for and it really shines through in the documentaries. Jezza may have cultivated a persona of being this big brash oaf, but you'll see the man behind the brand after watching these. He's a lot smarter and a great deal more empathetic than Top Gear or Grand Tour showed you.
@@paul1978g Very true. Those documentaries he did were very high quality and excellently presented.
@@dunhillsupramk3 that is the main part of it, i think they in the topgear / grand tour has always tried to put focus on something horrid, like the water starvation in the Grand tour episode in Vietnam, and going through talking about Polpot, but they have actually tried to show also the beauty of these places, the only place which i felt actually hit them hard, was what they did in Argentina, i do not really thing that they thought that they would be hunted like that, and that the episode ended in being fleeing the country. However i do agree that Clarksons Farm is an extremely good show, but it is lifted by the staff around him, usually he needs Hammond and May, but it just works with the staff he has on the farm.
The fact that he not only feels this way about being sort of a voice for farmers but also saying in the show that it's about the happiest he's ever been just makes me feel so good. Well done Clarkson and Kaleb and everyone involved in the show.
"I got an award!"
Yes you did, Caleb. And you bloody well deserved it...
More power to you both.
Kudos to Jeremy for letting Kaleb shine - and for promoting great British farmers
Well done Didly Squat team, a well deserved award.
"he's a bloody good lad this one" makes you wanna tear up! doing an awesome job these guys and all our farmers.
I wasn’t the greatest fan of clarkson before, but now I’m loving what he’s brought to British farming , love the show 👍
yah the guy was always a bit of a twat. but his love of food has turned into something a bit more.
@@tommyfred6180 Yea, I made people who cant find me try judge, it fucked them up. the mare labels the narrower the mind. 'you thought he was a twat'* 2 dimensional minds love or hate/fear...
@@tazarhalo no mate i thought he was 'a bit of a twat'. that's not the same as being 'a twat'. i suspect you don't understand the difference. i would love to see your definition of both. just to see the way you interpreted my use.
also label's narrow the mind? really! now presumption and pre conclusion. they are truly mind closing. but a label is just that, a point of reference. car is a label but without defining more. its just a LGV focused on people transportation. the word is just used so you don't, for instance, try coming by bus. this is mind narrowing? only if your presuming. :)
You may have missed it. In the early days when they added Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson was the one that insisted on adding May. They wouldn't, so he left the show. He WANTED to be the heel, and he wanted to be able to play the insufferable lout against Hammond and May. He didn't want to play the comedian roll, or the equipment nerd, he wanted to play the lout that everybody would hate, sort of. On his show, he's still doing the same roll, I mean... the Lamborghini tractor and the barn door is that roll, but he's also a bit more real at times. Wish him well.
yip, he shows what you will be missing in 3 years time....
and after your government cant provide you with food,
because the ships from Australia stuck in the Suez Canal again!
1:23 I love how his shirt is half tucked in and gut hanging over. Proper jezza 😂
When Clarkson said he was going to run a farm everyone laughed. Simply one of the most entertaining, educational, funny programmes on TV. Please support UK farmers as much as you can!
Kaleb! Bless, he is really excited to have won his award. Had his hair done too….
He didn't get the Phil Oakley haircut Clarkson told him about who he the guy from the human league dont you want me baby 🤣
Even in America us farmers love the light Clarkson shines on the whole industry. As he said farmers aren't negligent and most truly care about being good stewards of the land and It's extremely refreshing to hear.
I hope Kaleb carries on with this show after Jeremy. Love seeing him, he is, as Jeremy puts it, "A bloody good lad".
He's also like the son to him. It's really special to see.
Clarkson reminds me of my grandad…one of those guys whose genuine praise and pat on the back, as a youngster, really is worth more than any money, because you know he doesn’t hand it out often
Looking back over my lifetime of work I just crease up when people say a pat on the back is worth more than money.
I'm guessing this is a millennial concept brought about by that generation's requirement to be loved, appreciated and congratulated at every possible moment.
Try buying a loaf of bread with a pat on the back, and see how that goes!
@@oldgeordiegeezer3086 yeah well if you are struggling to buy a loaf of bread you probably haven’t done very much worthy of a pat on the back anyway. It’s not about needing to be loved. It’s about as a youngster working really hard for something that matters more to yourself than a few quid to get pissed up down the boozer. And if your getting that pat on the back from a good person, odds are you are doing things right and will have a successful career making plenty of money. You’re comment just tells me your a total dumbass and your generalisation of millennials makes you ignorant too.
@@banksy2386 "if you are struggling to buy a loaf of bread you probably haven’t done very much worthy of a pat on the back "
Wow - that's some statement!
I may be a total dumbass, and ignorant but I was clever enough to make it to the top of my field, to be self motivated and recognize my own worth, and all without a safe space, a pat on the back, or the requirements for trigger warnings.
I have no idea of your age, but your comment above reeks of todays problems. Intolerance, a lack of understanding and the requirement to hide behind the anonymity of the internet to be abusive.
@@oldgeordiegeezer3086 not at all. I have no feelings of intolerance and I completely understand what you said, I just retorted. My comment was in no way about safe spaces or Molly coddling. It was about the bond created when a young man earns the respect of an older, more accomplished man, or even his role model…through hard work and admirable qualities. You took my point of how it feels to ACHIEVE respect and credit from a mentor/role model and warped it into something you could start to vent your frustrations about the “everyone gets a medal, credit for taking part” culture that is prevalent in modern society. I share your sentiments completely about the weak, woke culture of today…but I thought it poor that you felt the need to infer the things you did from something nice and something that is clearly lacking in today’s society. Hard work, pride in your work, role models, and competence. Congratulations on your success and knowing your worth, I’m sure your an accomplished and decent person. Since you are trying to infer characteristics from what I have said, I will tell you I am no different, in a highly accomplished professional job, I am a husband and father raising a family, having overcome true adversity, I am anti-safe-space etc, self motivated and largely opposed to the softness and obsession with feelings purported in society today. BUT I know when I was a teenager, I valued the day my work was acknowledged and praised by someone I considered a master of their craft, far more than a few extra quid at Christmas (which is what my original comment was about) It’s not the need for a pat on the head, or lacking self worth, it’s developing pride in what you do and enjoying the rewards that come with it. Also I’m not hiding behind a keyboard. I said nothing I wouldn’t feel more than comfortable saying to your face. It just happens that this is the medium in which the conversation occurred. I think if you deem my response as “abusive”…you sound like the exact kind of person you are complaining about. Maybe dumb could be considered an insult (not exactly a particularly nasty one) but ignorant is certainly not abuse. I gave my reasons for why I thought your reply was ignorant. Has nothing to do with tolerance or understanding. Further terms often used within victimhood mentality. And have nothing to do with my response to you.
@@oldgeordiegeezer3086 You're anonymous, son. Comment also indicates a fatherless household. Sad.
Jermey Clarkson - and his compatriot Harry Metcalfe (Harrys Farm) - have between them, created knowledge and awareness of what is really going on with our Farming community, their struggles, difficulties and motivations. Both should be commended and maybe listened to by UK Government!! Wonderful series both 👍🏼
Good shout out for Harry, another great guy.
Harrys Farm is brilliant too and i suspect was the Terry Pratchett to JKR Harry Potter with Clarkson Farm. There is so much damage to reverse due to centralisation and regulations imposed to benefit mega corps.
“Their struggles ?” They have been subsidised by the taxpayer since 1947 and £3 billion of our EU contributions came back to them……why do you think they have the Range Rovers and the family homes,surrounded by open parkland ? 70% of the U.K. is agricultural land and 50%-33% of that is just growing food for animals…..which is why we have to import 40% of our food ! Fool !
Clarkson is a good bloke! Allowing Kaleb to take the spotlight and standing back. Even Kaleb’s name was at the top of the screen which I thought was a nice touch.
Jeremy’s learning but in the meantime using the brand he’s created to provide a platform for British Farming. That deserves an award itself and thats why he’s our national treasure.
People get Clarkson wrong. He's intelligent and knowledgeable, who sometimes plays a "laddish" character. Here he talks sense.
Jeremy and Kaleb and all the off camera folks that made this show possible, thank you! You have helped farmers EVERYWHERE. Jermey plays at being a serious farmer and in the process of stupid mistakes and silliness he makes us all aware how involved and difficult real farming truly is. The two of them are great together. Thank You again!
I knew nothing about farming untill I watched his show opens your eyes for sure
Farming really does need an advocate in the media such as Clarkson. Great words.
When’s Kaleb getting his own show, he’s brilliant.
As someone completely ignorant of what’s involved in farming, this show gave me a whole new appreciation.
I’m an ex soldier and I had no clue how insanely difficult it is to be a farmer, in certain scenarios being a farmer is more difficult than being a soldier, when we work hard it is flat out but it’s never flat out 24/7 even on deployment you will have hours of sitting around and doing nothing, farming is early morning and late finishes daily. If it weren’t for Clarkson I wouldn’t have understood the difficulties farmers have to go through and how the government doesn’t just not help but actively hinders the work of the people who literally feed us.
nearly teared up at the end there, Clarkson is desperately trying to keep the English country side & the people that made it going , both of which he clearly loves so much as do we all, thx big fella
Clarkson has adopted Kaleb as his son. There's so much father-son energy between the two.
What a national treasure Jeremy has turned out to be.
He was always a national treasure its just Commies and the woke don't like him. They dont like anything theyre miserable people.
Jeremy clarkson is spot on
he is being paid to talk... thats not the real jeremy !
@@truetothegame2928 hes been saying this about farming for years lol
@@yeahme8367 he is another paid puppet - truth being he doesnt give a hoot; he wanted out of the EU this the reality - farmers are fully farked ! this is the same bloke who will laugh at you if you drive a 2nd hand vauxhall.
@@truetothegame2928 but he campaigned to stay in the EU lol
@@yeahme8367 he really wanted out like the rest of them .. puppet ! dont believe any of these endorsed celebs ,, if paid he would endorse a vauxhall agila as the best car ever,,, i bet he loves fords aswell heheh
I have really grown to like Jeremy Clarkson. He is epic. I just love his no nonsense attitude. Says what he feels and thinks and stuff the rest.A sense of humour off the scale.
Yep, £1 million pound tractors,£200,000 sprayers……..makes you wonder how they afford it ?
Oh yeah, never had to buy a house(like you),never had to buy meat (like you),the car,the quad bike and the ponies(tax+VAT deductible,no Council Tax on land or buildings,special rules on inheritance tax AND the peasants have subsidised 50 -70% of our income since 1947…….you have to give it to the Conservatives……they do make good laws……for the landed gentry !
Mike . This is a somewhat polarised view. I have several farmer friends and this does not represent their experience!
I am so glad that Clarkson made a thoroughly entertaining and more informative at the same time farming program, He may not know much about farming, but he sure as hell knows more now than when he first started!!, more importantly however is the generation like Kaleb. A decent young lad with a passion for all the hard work it takes to be a British farmer, a great role model I would say, and deserves every success in the future.
Way back in the early 90s my grandfather said to me he could not believe how much had changed when it came to farmland/crops. He could not believe how much was missing/empty.
He used to say that we needed to go back to being more self-reliant/self-sufficient. Teach the skills needed before there is no one left to teach them. Never has this been more apparent now.
I used to know nothing about farming, I took everything for granted, and now I feel a little ashamed that it took a man like Clarkson to open my eyes. I have a huge amount of respect our our nations farmers, and the rest of us need to do more to help them do more for us.
Yeah,must be really hard watching cows eat grass ! Didn’t our children do much the same,when they kept pet rabbits…..feeding,watering,cleaning out ? Really hard !
Like someone said, Jeremy Clarkson has done more for British Farming in one series than Country File has done in ten years. Oh how true. Country file does nothing for farming in the UK. Keep up the good work Jeremy.
Yeah. An unexpected hero in the industry. Actually getting your hands dirty gains respect
Countryfile last weekend was unwatchable
@@watsonater I'll take your word for that - not watched the BBC in yonks
I'm so glad Jeremy's made the show as he's got such a following and will be a great ambassador for enlightening the public.
BBC has an agenda and its plain to see if you look for it.
Paedophilia amongst other things
I reside in Australia and watching Clarkson's Farm has given me insight into the absolute slog and tireless work put in by Farmers.
Their entire Life is dictated by the need of Farm Animals and the seasons of Crops. As a city person I have always done my weekly shop without much thought to Farmers.
I now purchase my meat and vegetables from Farmers direct so they benefit from direct sales for their hard work and endeavours on their Farm.
Truly eye opening and I am no longer ignorant to Farmers enormous amount of work 24/7.
I was born & raised in Sydney, it sickens me how the sheep farmer in Merriwa has no train line to their town anymore; meanwhile the welfare-sponge in Western Sydney gets a metro train underneath their existing train line just because they want their kids to come home from school sooner. City-centric politics has ruined Australia's rural towns. I'm so glad I changed my career years ago & got to travel around NSW for work, opened my eyes to the reality of farmers & what they endure.
@@mrbillhilly343
Bill,
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
Well said Jeremey Farmers are so important to us!
Yes, ever since the elite landed gentry,be they Roman,Angles or Normans took over the land,the serfs have worked hard to keep them rich. On the day that Nationwide BS announced that the average house price was £250,000……many realised it was back to the wattle and daub for them !
It's lovely to see Clarkson backing something so important to the next generation, well said that man .
This should be celebrated. The farmers are our heroes!
Kaleb is so bloody likeable.
And I’m glad he got his perm finally
Very well earned and deserved.
Thank you.
It's been too many years since Farming and Farmers have had a voice.
Food. It's cost and availability is taken for granted.
Half the Govt. and most of the Lords live on country estates…….they are the landed gentry…….why do you think they have been subsidised,by you,since 1947 ? Who do you think they listened to,when they changed the visa requirements,so quickly (themselves stupid ) !
@@mikehutchison4892 Again.
They are landowners not Farmers.
There is a World of difference.
Farmers themselves don't want subsidies of any description.
The only reason that Farming receives subsidies is so that the public can have cheap food.
If the subsidies were not there, food costs would be sky high.
This is not unique to the UK but in one way, shape or form is the same everywhere. But not necessarily worded, "subsidies".
This has made Farmers into, Hoop jumpers, box tickers.
The landowners you mention are not family run Farms and by no means represent them.
Your average Farmer will be working for less than the minimum wage for the hours worked.
The investment on any Farm is massive and every penny will be reinvested into machinery, animals, buildings, fertiliser, seed, crop chemicals, maintenance, contractors, labour, vets Bill's, and countless other bills I haven't mentioned.
The subsidies that you mention would probably pay the fertiliser bill, and that's it!
A lot of people think that Farmers get the subsidy payment and book a holiday in the Bahamas?
This is definitely not the case.
Are you connected with Agriculture?
I think Clarkson deserves this award as much as Kaleb. Done so much to raise awareness for the blight of the British Farmers. He's sort of doing something that matters more than a car show and he's actually proud of himself (rightly so) whilst keeping the comedy elements. I mean we were all laughing at his joke entry vid to Farmer Of the Year, but he's actually gone and won an award! Good for them and the other on his farm. Long may it continue!
Almost shed a tear with his last comment, he seems to genuinely care about caleb 😢
I can see why people don’t like Clarkson but he is always honest you may not like what he says but it’s the truth and sometimes you need to hear things you don’t want to hear in order to grow and be the best version of you.
Bravo Jezza. About time somebody stands up for the farmers. regards
I was genuinely surprised how well Clarkson's Farm was made and presented. Plus how involved he got and how much he progresses (despite the jokes) and learns. Never knew until then how bad and how stressful it can be.
Loved Clarkson's Farm. Big fan of Kaleb. Absolutely love the vibe between those two.
It is a great team. People like Kaleb who genuinely know what they are doing, and Jeremy using his high profile to highlight the issues all farmers face. It is great to see him using his position for the greater good, and giving Kaleb a platform to say what really happens, and what needs to change, to benefit all farmers.
You can really tell how passionate he is about what he's doing and the value he has of his team - even if you didn't like him before you'd have to be ignorant not to see that.
I really like this Clackson's Farm show.. tho true I liked Top Gear and Grand Tour as well.. and older Clarkson movies.. but this one is quiet a little special show. Kaleb is a great lad indeed and wish more youngsters were like him.
The show was so much fun and the fact that they just happened to stumble on people like Kaleb, that have such good synergy with Jeremy, just made it that much funner. Don't know what they are gonna show but hope they go for season 2.
The award should be for every farmer in the UK. We have JC to thank for putting agriculture in the public eye. Thanks JC
That was a cracking presentation by petrol head Jeremy, thoroughly enjoyable and they both have my total support.
Well done Jezza ans Caleb. 🤘🏻
Farmers don't get the respect they deserve. Backbone of Britain absolute grafters. Real heroes.
Kaleb is blown away by his new found fame thanks to Jeremy. Well done guys. ALL out to BRITISH FARMERS.
Congratulations to all the team who work on the farm farmers are the backbone and should be praised thanque. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Couldn’t be prouder to have these pair as the face of our industry.
That bit at the end was like a proud dad pushing on traditions in the family.
Five minutes of Clarkson has more impact than 20 years of Countryfile.
One of the best shows on Amazon. As a farm kid myself I found this show to be an incredible release. Can't wait for next season.
Land owning is a responsibility requiring wisdom, humility, generosity and openness so that humans can engage with and love nature. It is a crucial role in society, and Jeremy Clarkson does it better than most. Most will shoot you off their field for practicing yoga.
I am from India and the funny thing is that my family (who has never watched Top Gear/GT before) now know Clarkson thanks to Clarkson's farm. And they love it!
Kaleb and Jeremy are such a good duo, they compliment eachother so well
Meanwhile countryfile : “there aren’t enough black people in rural communities!””
guess you didnt see the first episode then 😂
@@wo0dy its a reference to black people in the country saying how the farmers are always white. And how they "dont feel welcome" because the country is mostly old white men.
@@AzguardMike The "old white men" were bought back in Zimbabwe farms as the one's who "forecably" took over couldn't grow crops properly.
Do the research.
Keep up the good work farmers.you are appreciated. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s amazing how the show shone a legit light on the struggle of the farmers while entertaining the audience.
His humility runs deep. See how he always shoves others up front for praise.
this made me smile. Kaleb is a good lad. So is Jeremey, he's an absolute legend
I very nearly didn’t watch the series. Thought it’d just be more of clarkson cocking around. Instead, it reminded me that he’s actually an intelligent journalist. He’s not scared to say the stuff that needs saying. Somehow the cocking around sevens a genuine purpose here. And the characters, all just brilliant. Kale band clarkson the best double act, just hit ground running, as funny as clarkson, Hammond and may.
Jeremy Clarkson and Kaled cooper. The first year was a great show all the mistakes made by Clarkson saw him as a working farm owner trying to make a living off the land. Kaled cooper, the farmworker, really is the brains behind the running of the farm .its, a great insight into how today's farms are worked alone, with dawn to dusk hours overrun into the early hours of the next day.
I'm looking forward to year two's next season on the farm with Jeremy and his team.

"he's a bloody good lad this one." What a touching and genuinely kind thing for Jezza to say. Can't say I saw this coming when he left the BBC.
How awesome! Very much respect the famers of the world!!!!
I think we have to thank Amazon too for making the series. Without them and of course Clarkson's genius almost no one would know the issues with farming in the UK.
Learnt more about farming in one season of Clarksons farm than I did watching country file for 20 years.
ESN are you or just a …very……very………..very slow learner ?
Watching Jeremy Clarkson's farm show has educated me on the problems our farmers are facing and made me realise just how important our farmers are to our country.
Love the love that Clarkson has for him… massive respect to you both. Great job both of you 💪🏻
Jeremy has done more for British Farmers than all our politicians and the NUF has done for them over the last 50 years or so especially when it comes to standing up to the EU on their behalf
The second season of the show really highlights the plight of the British farmers.
Can't believe he really got that perm! Let your soul glo, dude.
Really enjoyed series 1 of Clarksons farm. Better than fairy land Countryfile.
Well said.👍
Absolutely
I believe some locals give Jeremy a hard time, so narrow minded look at the good he's doing. A thoroughly decent bloke you can see it in his eyes . Eight episodes has probably done more good than all of David Attenborough's works.
David Attenborough cares about the earth. Whereas Jeremy cares about how to use the earth.
Think the neighbours might be kinda to jeza after the show and awards he’s got from the farm. 🤞🏻
That's what you get when every house in the countryside is owned by a rich person instead of a farmworker or local worker.
They built a load of £500k to £1 mill houses on what WAS a farm next to my uncle's farm. 1st year they all complained to the council about his grain dryer and he was told he could no longer use it...
@@GregsMowing NOT A CHANCE. they paid mega £££ for their houses and they expect the idyllic life. Trust me - this will make them hate him more.
Watch his video,complaining that he has to provide clean drinking water for his cattle instead of them being allowed to pollute a nearby stream……where is the understanding that he is part of the ecosystem,not the one who controls it ? “Look at his eyes !”…ye gods…..you’ll be voting for de Pfeffel again !!!
Some of the best people I know are farmers, it’s been in their blood for generations.
They work harder than I ever could… and people are constantly putting them down and accusing them of everything negative under the sun.
They care about the land, they care about the animals…it’s their livelihood and their childrens livelihood as well.
If you are a farmer reading this, I am grateful.
Thank you.
Absolutely spot on Mr Clarkson, Farmers of Britain grow whatever you like.
Work with each other to provide us with home grown food.
