Clarkson Farm Host Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that his future at Diddly Squat Farm looks risky. The TV presenter, 63, has owned a farm in the Cotswolds for the past 16 years, where he has filmed his hit show on Amazon Prime since 2021, but Jeremy revealed the difficulties of owning such an amount of land in the current financial climate .
the previous maximum speed The presenter admitted he was “screwed”, along with many farmers across Europe in his column times. Jeremy opened the farm to the public in 2019 and runs a farm shop described on his website as “a little barn full of no-nonsense goodies you'll love.”
He goes on to say, “We also have incredible food. Literally the best hamburgers in the world. And a full bar including Jeremy's Hoxton beer. There is table seating with a great view. All of the things we sell in the store are produced either on Deadly Squat Farm or by our neighbors.” In the Cotswolds.”

More talk about the situation in his country times A column where I tell readers how little farmers profit from the fresh produce they sell to supermarkets due to ever-increasing production costs.
“They can't make anything approaching a living wage without government help, and they can't raise prices because the supermarket system doesn't allow it,” the 63-year-old wrote candidly.
The issue is not unique to the former The grand tour Provider, or even UK farmers for that matter. On January 15, German farmers drove thousands of tractors into the capital after a week of demonstrations against a plan to remove tax breaks on their diesel.
The financial difficulties faced by farmers like Jeremy are compounded by the lack of profits made from selling their local produce to fast food chains. He asked: “How much of the £100 that a Big Mac charges goes to the farmers who grow the cows, the potatoes, the flour, the tomatoes and whatever McDonald's puts in that delicious sauce?” “Not much”.
This news comes as Jeremy opens up about his recent health scare. The TV star revealed he lost weight after removing a 5cm cyst from his back. He reassured his fans that the cyst was not cancerous, but he underwent surgery under general anesthesia last October.
The columnist said:[My partner] Lisa took me to a health farm and, well, it was so miserable there that I thought, “I've got to get this cyst removed sometime, maybe I should go now.”

“So I left the whole place and went into the hospital, because having surgery was more fun than eating juniper berries all day,” he added. “As I lay under the surgeon’s knife, I thought, ‘This is for the best.’”
