JEREMY I-EE-I-O
Jeremy Clarkson set to become a farmer on his own 1,000 acre plot for new TV show
JEREMY Clarkson is making a show documenting him running his own 1,000 acre farm.
The Grand Tour presenter admits he is an “inept townie” with no agricultural knowledge.

His new eight part series I Bought The Farm on Amazon Prime Video follows him at his Cotswolds home across a farming year.
The Sun columnist, 59, said: “Good news! I can finally confirm that I’m going to be spending the next year, in the rain, making a show about farming for Amazon Prime.
“Of course to be a farmer you have to be an agronomist, a businessman, a politician, an accountant, a vet, and a mechanic. And I’m none of those things. I don’t even know what agronomist means.”
It comes after The Sun revealed he broke down in tears on The Grand Tour last year announcing he and co-stars Richard Hammond, 49, and James May, 56, would stop their traditional studio shows.
Instead they are focusing on longer adventures as well as each doing their own projects.
James will present a documentary on Japan and Richard is working with Mythbusters star Tory Belleci.
The Grand Tour is set to return later this year.
Georgia Brown, Director of European Amazon Original Series, said: “Jeremy is one of Britain’s finest exports and I think I speak for the entire nation when I say I can’t wait to see what will happen when he turns his usually petrol-covered hands to life on a working farm.
