Jeremy Clarkson has shared his fears for the future of his popular Diddly Squat Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper.
The 61-year-old star of Amazon Prime Video’s Clarkson's Farm is worried that Kaleb’s livelihood is being driven out by the Government rules and regulations and rich outsider’s buying local land to make money.
The former TopGear star has now urged fans to ‘buy British’ in a bid to help 21-year-old Kaleb with his farming passion.
Jeremy is now riddled with fears that Kaleb will never be able to fulfill his dream of purchasing his own farm.
“Kaleb's fantastic, but it worries me how he'll ever be able to afford his own farm," Jeremy told The Sun.
"He's up against hedge fund managers now who don't necessarily want to farm it."
In a bid to ‘help’ Kaleb's future, Jeremy called on the Government to end red tape.
He also posed the idea that supermarkets should have ‘Buy British’ buttons so shoppers can choose where to get their food from.
"Eating meat, if it's grass-fed British meat, is a very eco thing to do," he told the publication.
"My cows are wandering around eating pasture grass and having a very happy life."
The TV presenter bought the 1,000 acres farm near Chadlington in 2008.
Despite having the land for over 13-years, Jeremy only started the farm two years ago after the original farmer retired.
Jeremy’s love for agriculture on Diddly Squat Farm has been portrayed in front of millions on the Amazon Prime Video show, with viewers falling in love with his endearing sidekick, Kaleb.
While many have questioned the petrolhead's sudden love for farming, Kaleb is certain that it’s a deep passion of Jeremy’s - and one that brings him peace.
Speaking about his co-star on BBC Radio Oxford recently, the young farmer told: “Personally I think he bought the farm because he loves nature.
"He loves farming. People go to me 'this chap coming out with cars' and that, but he has a genuine interest in farming.
“You'll see him in the morning, he likes his little peaceful walks around the pond and around his woods.
"He walks the whole farm all the time, which makes it very hard for me if I miss a little bit while spraying.”
