For the past few years, the former Top Gear presenter has been working hard on Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton – with varying degrees of success. As his Amazon show, Clarkson’s Farm, has documented, it has been incredibly difficult for him to make any sort of profit, mirroring the plight of farmers across the UK.
Cooper has become somewhat of a celebrity thanks to his role in the show, as the 26-year-old farmer represents the next generation in British agriculture. But following a challenging conclusion to series three, Cooper has inadvertently spilled the beans on what is yet to come in series four.
Taking to social media, he said: “I can sense this being an interesting and difficult season. We really don’t need this rain after the summer we have had.” The Met Office seems to agree, forecasting “torrential” rain for large parts of the country.
