Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm affair has taken a worrying turn after the TV star admitted he is “genuinely scared” about this year’s harvest.
Jeremy usually worries about wet grain. This time, he fears the opposite problem.
The former Top Gear presenter said his grain is now so dry that one spark could trigger a fire and destroy a year’s work.

Why Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm affair has him on edge
Writing in his column for The Sun, Jeremy explained why harvest season often makes him nervous.
He said: “Since I started farming seven years ago, the harvest has always been a nail-biting affair because you have to stop when the grain is too wet. Drizzle, dew and even humidity can halt proceedings for days.”
This year, though, he faces a different threat.
Jeremy added: “This year, though, I have a new problem. The grain is too dry.
It’s Thursday as I write this and I should be out there in the tractor, but I’m stuck. And genuinely scared.”
He then spelled out the danger. Clarkson said: “Because all it would take is a discarded cigarette end, or the spark from a piece of faulty equipment and in a matter of moments, my whole crop would be turned into ash. A year’s work, literally, up in smoke.”
That fear fits the pattern viewers know from Clarkson’s Farm. The Prime Video series follows him as he runs Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.
