While the stars of Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb Cooper and Jeremy Clarkson, are known for their on-screen clashes while managing their crops and livestock, tensions escalated during their most recent harvest. Kaleb even brutally suggested that operations might run more smoothly without the former Top Gear presenter’s involvement.

Jeremy, 64, took the audacious step of purchasing the rundown Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire, transforming it into both a tourist hotspot and a functioning farm. His trials and triumphs have been chronicled on his popular Amazon Prime series, Clarkson’s Farm, with the assistance of farmhand Kaleb.

Since the show’s debut, Kaleb has emerged as a star in his own right. Despite never having left the UK and dedicating his life to farming, he has been drawn into the world of show business.

Kaleb recently embarked on a UK tour, offering fans an in-depth look at farming through his one-man show. However, his absence left Jeremy single-handedly running the farm and his pub.

The star conceded that while the tour was “great”, leaving Jeremy alone may not have been the wisest decision as the pair found themselves at odds during the harvest due to what Kaleb describes as Jeremy’s “incompetence.”

“Jeremy and I argued quite a bit in harvest because it was so stressful for me trying to do my very best again as a contractor,” he confessed.

“It was pretty tough mentally. The problem with the harvest was because I’m still young, I’m 26, I think a lot of people can doubt me sometimes. And I doubt myself sometimes because I think everyone does ask themselves if they’re doing things right.”

Kaleb candidly admitted that while Jeremy “really enjoys” the harvest, he can be “he’s a pain”. He bluntly stated: “Life would be easier if he wasn’t there during harvest, just because he’s a bit incompetent.”

Despite Kaleb’s strong words, it appears Jeremy concurred, describing solo farming as “a slow-motion accident”. Jeremy added: “That, in terms of farming was my big wake-up call.”

In the upcoming series’ trailer, Jeremy is seen hiring a new farmhand as Kaleb embarks on a tour. The preview shows Clarkson attempting to purchase a pub to revive his farm-to-fork restaurant dream.

This follows the closure of his Oxfordshire eatery by the council due to alleged lack of planning permission. The series also tracks Cooper, aged 26, on his nationwide tour before resuming his duties as farm manager.

Clarkson expresses in the trailer: “I want to make it plain that I am absolutely thrilled to bits for Kaleb, but he has left me just a little bit in the lurch.”

After stating his need for a farmhand, Clarkson is shown questioning a potential recruit who confesses she has never watched the programme.
