<\/p>\nJeremy Clarkson has admitted he and his team at Diddly Squat aren’t “doing any real farming this year” following a fresh set of challenges that have headed their way.<\/p>\n
The former Top Gear star runs his own Cotswolds farm with the help of farm manager Kaleb Cooper, land agent Charlie Ireland, other half Lisa Hogan, and handyman Gerald Cooper. <\/p>\n
However, not content with the farm being his own business venture, Clarkson’s Farm fans will know all too well that the presenter has looked further afield, with farm shop and pub projects also established.<\/p>\n
Despite his entrepreneurial spirit, Mr Clarkson has made bones about how his businesses struggle to make money nowadays, whether it be thanks to adverse weather or government red tape. <\/p>\n

Now, in his latest attempt to try and recoup some of the cash injected into his agricultural business empire, Mr Clarkson has opted for a rather unorthodox plan.<\/p>\n
The 66-year-old has decided to breed rabbits rather than do “any real farming”, claiming to have spotted a gap in the market for British-produced meat.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, we\u2019re not doing any real farming this year,” he told the Sunday Times. “I mean, there\u2019s rabbits and market gardening – basically growing herbs for the farm shop – and that\u2019s it.”<\/p>\n
He explained why: “There\u2019s no point. It\u2019s impossible to make money. And next year the UK gets a carbon tax on fertiliser, on top of the fact that it already costs a million, billion pounds an ounce. <\/p>\n

“The only crop that\u2019s gone up in value is this,” he said, gesturing to a field of rape. “That\u2019s because it\u2019s an oil product.”<\/p>\n
Mr Clarkson also went to dispel the myth that his idyllic work environment goes some way to offering a consolation for the financial challenges.<\/p>\n
But he quickly rubbished the illusion, revealing that “bad days on the farm are horrific”, emphasising that they can be “truly awful”.<\/p>\n
On his rabbit venture, Mr Clarkson outlined his thinking after discovering that British restaurants were importing rabbit meat from France. <\/p>\n

“So I thought, this year there\u2019s no point trying to grow wheat. You are guaranteed to lose money. Same with barley. So we started rabbit farming,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Some people say, oh, you can\u2019t eat rabbits. I mean, why not?”<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the interview, Mr Clarkson touched upon his ongoing feud with Green Party leader Zack Polanski.<\/p>\n
Over the past few months, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host has pulled no punches with his public – and often personal – attacks on the wannabe PM. <\/p>\n
