Buy British! Jeremy Clarkson's new TV series contractor KALEB COOPER makes an SOS appeal
Daily MailJeremy Clarkson has done more for British farming in one TV series than the BBC's Countryfile has managed in 30 years of broadcasting, according to the Cumbrian sheep farmer James Rebanks. Kaleb Cooper and Jeremy Clarkson were honoured by the British Farming Awards for raising the profile of British farming I hope viewers, too, see the amount of enthusiasm that's involved. Mr Cooper hopes that if shoppers understand more about how much hard work goes into farming they will be encouraged to buy British There are no monthly wages in farming and it all tends to come at once when a job is finished or all the crops have been sold, leading to cashflow problems If you're losing £200 an acre, that could be the difference between green and red, profit and loss, staying afloat or going under. Farming relies on many external variables, whether it's machinery that won't work or sheep that keep on escaping I can tell you, he's been a bit shell-shocked by how hard he's had to work.
