Jeremy Clarksons new TV show

[AGN76]

Not seen it yet, but he was on Steve W @nk on Radio 2 yesterday and I don't think I've ever been as proud to be a farmer. It's really worth listening to. He really bigged farmers up telling the constant battles with weather etc we have.

 

[AGN76]

I was thinking a neighbouring farmer might be more help. I can see why they used the agent however to add some professionalism. He does come across a bit of a stick in the mud though - do as I say because…..! Also comes across with a sense of I know the rules but have never done it myself before. Probably not true however.

I keep wondering about how much his bill must be for such simple advice…..

He said on Radio yesterday his neighbours are really helpful. Even name checked one of them.

I heard that, was at school with the one he name checked!

Why? isn't he complimentary about Red Tractor? What a surprise.

Ha. Easy on the eye, but maybe not best placed to teach people, looked like she was trying to give him a heart attack jumping in and out of the cab, and why not use the mud guard remotes (I refuse to use the word fender) that's what they are put there for.

yep, I was thinking that too

 

[Ffermer Bach]

I was wondering why, he didn't put old car tyres down in the shed, and drop the seed bags on them to keep them off the ground, could have got a dig in at the environment agency at the same time for having to fill in a form to be able to have old tyres on the farm!

 

[HatsOff]

I just watched the first too, what will be interesting I think, is Jeremy is going to say why? to all the silly rules that we are just used to and don't question.

I like Cheerful Charlie - especially his comments regarding fertiliser regulations - 'quite sensible'. I agree!

Obviously things get played up but it is entertaining stuff.

my neighbour couldn't start his digger and could not work out why, his son had been on it, and had used the seat belt, when he got off, obviously he unclipped it. Usually it is clipped in, but wrapped behind the seat so as not to be in the way!

Very true to life, (been there, done that) how many of us have stood in a field yelling "I hate F*****g sheep !" Surprised to see they were still using paper movement forms.

I have to question your love life?
I HATE F*****G SHEEP ?

Another thing that's quite good is that he's taking advice from all areas..,, land manager, environmentalists, locals, shepherd etc and soaking up the additional costs that come with it. Many farmers struggle on their own and have a hat that fit nearly every job hanging up ready to go. Clarkskns Farm is going some way to mimic how other industries manage regulation etc and show how the average farmer (if there is such a thing) just can't afford what is the norm in other industries.

Had to smile when Jeremy said the view reminded him of Oklahoma and Caleb replied the furthest he had ever been was London and he didn't rate it much.

"went there once, it was an art trip. I didn't get off the coach. Too many people."
A star in the making.

TBF that tractor looks unnecessarily stupid with all those buttons etc.

Simple is best

2 things sprung to mind in the first episode, why a 3m cultivator when at that depth it would pull 6m and why cultivate in front of the Claydon anyway
