Read our privacy policy Farmer Kaleb Cooper says he and Jeremy Clarkson are actually very similar, except he’s not as “useless” as the former Top Gear presenter. Eventually, we come together and have a cup of tea and we’re fine again, we keep talking about farming.” Cooper is still very much a working farmer – he chats on a video call hunched behind a hedge, having just hopped off his tractor, saying: “I do apologise if you’re going to hear beeping or tractors or anything like that, but I’m literally in a field.” He might still be farming, but his life has changed dramatically since the first season debuted in 2021. “I started Googling places and I was like, I’m missing out on so much on the different stuff that’s going around the world,” he says. “I’m not from a farming background myself and I thought – if I can help a younger generation get started, that’s what I’ve been put on this planet for.” The phrase “continuously” stuck in Cooper’s head is: “Dreams don’t work unless you do.” He says: “I’m doing all this work and I have a dream in my head – I want to own my own farm… I started my business at 13, when I was 16 years old I had become my own boss.
