Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper aiming to get stinking rich with clever business move
CLARKSON’S Farm star Kaleb Cooper aims to get stinking rich by trademarking his name.
The enterprising contractor, 24, wants to market merchandise and services with a new logo submitted last month featuring his initials KC.
His trademark application — also featuring a tractor, cow, ear of corn and a ploughed field — was submitted last month and is being considered by the Intellectual Property Office.
Last night, friends of Kaleb said he wanted to protect his business after domain names were bought by unscrupulous punters trying to cash in on his new-found fame.
Kaleb has been a key figure helping Jeremy Clarkson on his hit farming show on Amazon, often hilariously exasperated by the former Top Gear star’s naivety.
He formed Kaleb Cooper Contracting, offering “agricultural contracting solutions in Oxfordshire”, long before he appeared on TV.

He has also set up two companies — Kaleb Cooper Productions Ltd and K Cooper Holdings Ltd — to look after his subsequent TV and media work.
Clarkson revealed last year that wily Kaleb had struck a deal to buy cut-price human waste from Severn Trent to use as fertiliser.
But he said: “That raises an interesting point.
“Would you buy food if you knew it had been grown using human excrement?”

A friend of Kaleb’s last night told The Sun: “He has used his name for his business interests since he started working at 13.
“Most people know Kaleb as being part of Clarkson’s Farm but it’s a lesser known fact that Kaleb is a successful farm contractor.
“As part of his business he needs to have a logo and domain name and so he has registered Kaleb Cooper Contracting Ltd.”
