Jeremy Clarkson warns of ‘catastrophe on catastrophic scale’ for whole nation

In a brand new replace, Jeremy Clarkson has warned of a ‘catastrophic scale’ catastrophe for all the nation.

It’s been a little bit of a nightmare for the TV star’s Diddly Squat farm lately, with ‘everybody devastated’ there by a virus outbreak amongst his cows.

And as new seasons get filmed of Clarkson’s Farm, it appears the obstacles and issues don’t cease. Nonetheless, whereas it’d make ‘good TV’ to see Clarkson and the staff overcome points on Diddly Squat, the 65-year-old factors out that ‘most farms don’t have TV exhibits to maintain them going’.

That’s significantly as a submit on his X account this morning (8 August) warns we must always all be fearful about this yr’s harvest, because the UK has had a very warm and dry spring.

“It appears to be like like this yr’s harvest will likely be catastrophic. That ought to be a fear for anybody who eats meals. If a catastrophe on this scale had befallen every other trade, there can be a number of wailing and gnashing of enamel,” Clarkson wrote.

He added within the feedback that for a profitable harvest ‘regular climate would assist’.

“It by no means stopped raining in 2024 and by no means began in 2025,” he mentioned.

One person requested if the farm would have the ability to survive ‘if it wasn’t supported by different adjoining companies’ like Clarkson’s pub and farm store.

And he merely responded: “Not a cat in hell’s probability.”

Earlier in the summertime, it was reported that evaluation from the Vitality and Local weather Intelligence Unit (ECIU) urged the UK could possibly be heading for an additional poor harvest.

It estimated that the manufacturing of the ‘principal arable crops, wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rapes’ might hit close to all-time lows.

Martin Strains, chief govt of the Nature Pleasant Farming Community, mentioned on the time: “This yr’s arable harvest is on a knife edge.

“Months of dry climate have left my crops careworn, with their yield potential now capped even when we get an excellent little bit of rain. That is what farming in a altering local weather appears to be like like. In three years, we’ve had the most well liked day ever, the wettest 18 months and now the warmest spring.”

One other farmer wrote within the feedback of Clarkson’s submit wrote: “Worst harvest of my life so far.”

It’s one factor after one other for Clarkson then, who lately confirmed Diddly Squat couldn’t purchase or promote any cows as they had been affected by a bovine tuberculosis (bTB) outbreak. “Everybody right here is completely devastated,” he wrote.
