Television personality Jeremy Clarkson has admitted that certain parts of managing a farm have been a “disaster,” as he hasn’t experienced a single normal year since taking charge of operations at Diddly Squat Farm.
The star experienced immense stress during filming of season four of Clarkson’s Farm, where he tackled various challenges of opening The Farmer’s Dog pub, navigating constant hurdles and red tape. And operations on the farm have been anything but smooth sailing over the last year.
The fourth series of the hugely popular Amazon Prime show Clarkson’s Farm was broadcast earlier this year and highlights some of the challenges Jeremy has faced. The latest knockback Jeremy had to face came as an outbreak of bovine tuberculosis (TB) hit Diddly Squat Farm.

He told Times Radio that a vet had made the devastating discovery. He subsequently posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.”
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: “We are gifted every year by something. Year one we had Covid in the middle of it. Nobody could have seen that coming.
“Year two, West Oxfordshire Council became a little bit difficult and gave us a really good story beat. They banned me from setting up a restaurant on the farm. Nobody could have seen that one coming.
“Then there was year three, when all the pigs died. Then in year four it simply didn’t stop raining. This year it hasn’t started. There hasn’t been one normal year.
“Sometimes you think, OK, this is an unbelievable disaster, but on the other hand it will amuse the viewers. But it’s not like The Grand Tour, where you’d set things up.”
Clarkson’s Farm is available to watch on Prime Video and Matt Baker: Our Farm in the Dales is free to stream on the Channel 4 website.
