Clarkson Halts Diddly Squat Filming as Weather and TB Lockdown Stall the Farm

He pivots to brewery deals, a May farm festival and a thriving pub to offset weak arable returns.

Overview

  • Jeremy Clarkson says there is currently no farming or filming at Diddly Squat because it has rained nonstop since January and the herd remains under a TB lockdown.
  • He warns 2026 will be “very problematic,” stating the farm does not expect to make money on wheat and barley this year.
  • Clarkson is investing in hops through Hawkstone, which is purchasing from Charles Faram Farms after he ruled out growing hops on his exposed Cotswolds land.
  • The Farmer’s Dog pub is described as a runaway success, with Clarkson reporting 156 people on the payroll.
  • Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper are promoting the Great British Farm-Fest for May 22–24 at Stoneleigh Park, and season five of Clarkson’s Farm is expected to arrive on Prime Video in May.
