Jeremy Clarkson talks ‘so many issues’ with career move after halting show filming

Jeremy Clarkson, who only last month disclosed that the production of his Amazon Prime show, Clarkson’s Farm, had halted, has addressed the “many issues” facing the industry he switched careers for

Jeremy Clarkson has addressed the “many issues” facing the industry he switched careers for after decades in the world of motoring. The Clarkson’s Farm star’s remarks emerged in a recent article promoting an upcoming event at his Diddly Squat Farm (located in the Cotswolds) in June next year.

The arable farming-focused Cereals Event, as per its website, is the UK’s flagship arable event, where “industry knowledge, innovation and expertise” unite in an effort to “improve the future for arable farmers”.

Trade publication Agricultural Trader notes that the summer 2026 event will feature 550 exhibitors and 25,000 visitors, but it will remain a “farmers’ only affair,” according to Charlie Ireland, an agronomist and familiar face to fans of Jeremy’s show).

Jeremy also touched on the problems facing the industry, telling the publication: “Farmers are facing so many issues at the moment, and hosting Cereals was our chance to do something positive for the industry and showcase some practical advice and ideas for food producers.”

He continued: “We hope to shine a spotlight on farming in the UK and educate people about the challenges farmers face. Cereals is an opportunity for us to come together and find the solutions we all need.”

He stated: “Filming at Diddly Squat has stopped for a little while, but the farming goes on. Today, I have rented out a pig for sexual purposes.”

It would lead to a number of humorous responses, including one that read: “How does one move from cars to pig pimpery? It doesn’t seem a natural transition.”

Another read: “What you get up to at the weekend is your own business.” A third read: “Thank you, Jeremy. That will be all. We’re trying to enjoy our Sunday bacon and eggs here.”

In other developments, Jeremy’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, has reportedly declined a punter’s request to bring in a birthday cake due to a strict rule of his involving local ingredients.

The policy was communicated via an email sent to the customer after they enquired about the cake. Courteous staff suggested that it wouldn’t be possible due to Jeremy’s policy that the pub only uses ingredients from within 16 miles, reports the Star.

According to The Sun, the message read: “As part of our commitment to back British farming, we kindly ask that only 100% British food products are brought into the pub; this sadly includes birthday cakes.”

You can next catch Jeremy on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on ITV on Saturday, November 29, from 8pm to 9pm.
