Jeremy Clarkson shares 'worrying' update on Diddly Squat farm after another disaster

Jeremy Clarkson has shared that he has been consumed with worry after his harvest this year is nothing short of "catastrophic."

The 65 year old former Top Gear presenter, who now owns Diddly Squat Farm, took to social media and told fans that the state of his crops should be a "worry to anyone who eats food." He wrote on X: "It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food." He added: "If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth."

However, it remains unknown what exactly he is referring to but fans were quick to point the finger at the British weather. It comes after Top Gear host admitted he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson as he made a bold statement.

One person questioned: "Why? What's going on? Is it weather?" And another wrote: "Details please, was it just the unpredictable weather?"

It was only last month that it was reported that his farm, which features on his reality TV show Clarkson's Farm, had come down with a dose of Bovine Tuberculosis. The disease is infectious to all animals which explains why he penned on X that he was "absolutely devastated."

Taking to X, he wrote: "Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated."

The former presenter owns his farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. In another post he told fans that one of his infected cows was pregnant with twins.

According to the BBC website, cattle that fail a TB test or have inconclusive results over two tests are classed as "reactors" and must be "isolated then sent to slaughter."

TB is classed as a respiratory disease which can be transmitted through nose to nose contact and also saliva, urine, faeces and milk. As well as the farm being under tests, Jeremy recently revealed that one of his puppies had died. While on Times Radio with Peter Cardwell, he said: "It's awful, it is awful. You have a test every six months on the cows and then you sort of become blasé, it's a hypothetical threat."

He added: "And then the vet looks up as he did yesterday lunchtime and said 'I'm really sorry this one's failed'. So that means we're now locked down and it's just dreadful, absolutely dreadful."

Jeremy continued: "It's only been not even 24 hours since I found out and it occupies my mind. Well it was occupying my mind but I got up this morning and found one of my puppies has died. And we've got a very sickly calf. Honestly, farming? I'm not enjoying it this week."
