Kaleb Cooper “immediately” left Diddly Squat Farm following a request from Jeremy Clarkson<\/a>. The 26-year-old farm worker shot to fame on Clarkson’s Farm, which follows the former Top Gear host as he navigates farming life in the Cotswolds.<\/p>\n

Recently, Clarkson revealed his plans for a spring clean at the farm, a task he described in the Sunday Times as one “task Hercules himself would describe as ambitious”. According to Clarkson, farmers have a tendency to hoard, believing that “every single thing ever made” could prove useful someday. He says this is something Kaleb<\/a> has particularly bought into.<\/p>\n

Jeremy wrote: “Ask him to put something away and he acts like a seven-year-old who’s been told to tidy his room.<\/p>\n

“He’s not interested in tidiness because it takes time and time is money. What does it matter if he’s left a 60-year-old chain harrow in the field? ‘Er, because it’s ugly, Kaleb.’ He can’t get that at all. In his world, ugly doesn’t matter.”<\/p>\n

Jeremy says the issue of Kaleb leaving equipment out came to a head when he asked to help with the spring cleans, reports Gloucestershire Live<\/a>. Jeremy added: “When I asked him to help me tidy the farmyard, he immediately got into his ugly pick-up truck and went for a weekend mini break with his family in the Yorkshire Dales.”<\/p>\n

In 2008, Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> made a grand entrance into agriculture by purchasing 1,000 acres of the Sarsden estate in Chipping Norton, which included Curdle Hill Farm\u2014known for alternating between barley, rapeseed and wheat.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2019, with the farm’s tenant retiring, Clarkson took a swing at farming life, rebranding to Diddly Squat Farm and capturing his escapades on Prime Video.<\/p>\n

The show has since harvested praise, particularly among the farming folk, with James Rebanks telling The Telegraph: “I can report back from within the farming community: they all loved that programme.<\/p>\n

“They loved it. Ok, he’s clowning around and he plays to that audience, and a lot of farmers are lads that like machines and they would have watched Top Gear and all the rest of it.”<\/p>\n

Kaleb meanwhile first ventured into the farming industry aged 13, when he started helping out at a dairy farm. He worked at the farm when it was managed by Howard Pauling before continuing as a farm hand under Jeremy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kaleb Cooper “immediately” left Diddly Squat Farm following a request from Jeremy Clarkson.
