Jeremy Clarkson tearfully hugs Kaleb Cooper during Clarkson’s Farm meltdown

New photos from upcoming episodes of Clarkson’s Farm show Jeremy Clarkson consoling his farm manager Kaleb Cooper as he struggles to hold back tears over bad news for the farm. The 25-year-old looks visibly frustrated and emotional, wiping away a tear when he realized the canola crop he had planted failed to grow – after Jeremy warned him not to plant it in the first place.

The farmer and former Top Gear presenter faced a number of challenges during filming, not least the weather. Jeremy noted that there was “no rain at all” and that they experienced a “cooler”. He added: “Then it went into the hottest June ever, since then it’s been the wettest and coldest July.”

Speaking about the new episodes of the Amazon Prime show, he lamented that the weather had done the exact opposite of what they needed all year, saying: “Since the weather had done the exact opposite of what we needed all year, I been praying for an old-fashioned autumn with plenty of warm sunshine – but no, the crucial harvest month was also the refusal to play ball.

“And now Kaleb killed the crops to get them ready for the combine. The clock was ticking. The longer they sat in the field, too wet to harvest, the more they would deteriorate,” reports the Express.

However, when Kaleb ran a moisture test on the crops, the results were not promising. He joked, “I think I broke a record for the number of times I can test the moisture in a field.”

When Jeremy arrived while Kaleb was testing the second field, the farm manager revealed that the results were “shockingly bad”. The Grand Tour star concluded: “Once again, it was the weather that delivered the killing blow.”

Pointing out the disappointing state of their crops, Kaleb Cooper expressed his frustration to Jeremy Clarkson: “This is the rape strain. Where are the pods?”

Jeremy replied with concern, noting the absence of pods, “There’s no pods at all,” and acknowledged Kaleb’s visible annoyance, “Honestly, I’m mad, I can see you’re mad. .”

Kaleb, visibly discouraged, agreed, “I’ve had enough.” In a moment of light banter, Jeremy couldn’t resist a joke: “I usually make fun of you and say you were told not to plant rape.”

However, Kaleb was in no mood for jokes, firmly replying, “I’m not in the mood,” before confessing his sense of responsibility, “I’ve had enough. All that time, effort and money. I know it’s not my money. but I still don’t want to do any harm, you know?”

The scene reached an emotional climax as Kaleb fought back tears, prompting Jeremy to offer a comforting gesture as he sympathetically said, “Oh, mate.”

The first four episodes of Clarkson’s Farm Season 3 are now available to stream on Amazon Prime, with the final four episodes set to be released on Friday, May 10.
