Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm exclusive tour & why you should buy British

HE has become Britain’s most famous farmer - and its unlikeliest - since his TV documentary Clarkson’s Farm became a smash hit.
Now petrolhead Jeremy Clarkson is finding out what it really takes to make a living from the land. And it is far harder - and more frustrating - than belting around in a half-a-million-pound supercar on his other TV show, The Grand Tour.
Teaming up with the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), Jeremy wants the Government to commit to Britain remaining at least 60 per cent self-sufficient in food. It has slipped from nearly 80 per cent in the 1980s.
Helping to launch the NFU’s new Food Report, Jeremy is also asking shoppers to buy British products, which he insists are better quality and greener.
He gave the Sun an exclusive tour of the Diddly Squat farm and showed off several new additions to his estate.

The fact is, if you compete with China and Mexico for labour, you are reducing the value of labour in your country. If you compete with the US and Australia for food, you reduce the quality of your local food sources the same way. Local food and local labor MUST be protected to have a country. Everyone pretends culture doesn't evolve and that's what makes nations: cultural regression. But the truth is a shared community is what makes a nation. And right now the world is sharing a community with corrupt, power hungry, wannabe slave owners. Foreign food should be expensive and local food should be cheaper. But we can't stop selling our souls, civilizations, and cultures, to the encroachment of Fascist Big Money Gangsters.

Having said that I’m quite happy to do that ive done it all my working life ,but there are many who are really struggling.

[@6arley4liv3]

Other than controlling interest rates and the value of land, communism, how can the government make it easier? Give money away? The whole premise of owning a business or property is making money. Because someone can't afford to buy a house and they have to rent, how are they suffering?

@@6arley4liv3 Rent is often double what a mortgage would be, which makes it hard to save a deposit. Example; my landlord pays around £250 p/m on the mortgage but I pay £550 p/m in rent. So every month I'm £300 worse off than my landlord which makes it harder for me to save a mortgage deposit 🙃 And yet people that have never worked a day in their life sit in their wee houses getting everything paid for them.

Farmers not being able to own their own farm goes back centuries. Huge proportion of land in UK owned by gentry, peers, trusts, corporations, church, Oxbridge colleges, increasingly based in cities, since Norman conquest. Practical farmers usually tenants at best, peasants, or serfs, or employed as farm managers. It's a deep structural issue. Ironically, neo-liberal economics of recent decades transformed the original Conservative Party that existed for the landowners who often had a vested interest in conserving those old ways so their local yokels were more or less ok (after driving surplus off the land) has meant corporations and wealth city types buying up country and pushing cost of housing through roof

Jeremys view on the subsidies is interesting as there are many farmers who see the changes as positive. The subsidies are not going away, they are changing. Farmers will receive new grants for improving productivity, improving animal welfare, habitat restoration, increasing woodland, boosting soil health and cutting pesticide use.

Farming is our British heritage it's one of few things that we should support we have some of the best produce in the world. And a self sustaining country. The government should support farmers and the public should buy local.

[@lksf9820]

A lot of farmers are having to sell off land to property developers so they can make ends meet. So we lose fields and gain more housing estates, I wonder if this was a Government plan....

[@cuebj]

It is. They have chums in property development. Conservative Party as originally formed to conserve the status of inheriting landowners transformed into devil-take-the-hindmost and reward the most actively conscience-free-market Whigs (original Liberals) under Thatcher. But even then, it had scruples. Now, Alan B'Stard is PM and his toadies have the minor government posts

[@coolboy5428]

They do not have to, they see money and they take it like the greedy sellouts and chooose that they are.

[@fifabots]

For the farmers it makes sense. Why wouldn't you sell some of your land if it meant profit?

[@lksf9820]

Because it's a stupid idea, I would rather eat my own hair than sell off my land to put housing on. Land has many good uses, putting housing estates on is definitely not one of them.

You should question why companies like Sainsbury’s sell as their own branded product things like corned beef from Brazil. Cattle reared, butchered, processed and canned on what is almost the other side of the world. As well as not contributing to the British market, how can that be environmentally friendly?

So much of this is spot on. As an American who had a lot of farming in the family, I agree with the "cleansing" part. So much of what was farm land in my area is now warehouses and developments. School board controlled property taxes are a large part of the financial burden, at nearly $1k an acre now; more if there are buildings on it. We have a lot from NYC and NJ who move out here and then want to make it what they just left.

The reason why we have farming subsidies in the United States is that we understand that self-sustainability is one of the reasons that made us as powerful as we are.

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

@@theylied1776 Has far as I am aware Putin has been working on making Russia has self-sufficient has possible and agriculture was one of the priorities. That's why Russia became the largest wheat producer a few years ago. Is Russian wheat any better than America wheat? I'd have to look into Russian agriculture more deeply to ascertain that. Although what I can tell you is that produce from American farms was banned by 160 countries due to the crap they put on and in American food. American food doesn't meet the very stringent standards that we have in the European countries. Italy was the most eco country in Europe because most of their farmers rejected the fertilisers and pesticides. Most Italian farmers kept their product has pure has possible and put people above profit.

Sack all MPs and get Clarkson and his crew running the show , opportunism will be brought back to the UK

[@cuebj]

Not sure Clarkson so gung-ho opportunist as you seem to think. We have opportunism now. Those with loads of cash from huge bonuses are buying up land in country not to farm, unless as subsidised to balance books, but as tax break or other wealth management tool. But, mainly, it's corporates and pension funds making most of fund management opportunities. In UK and USA there is a relatively rare assumption that food should be a small part of household expenditure - partly a result of inflated house prices due to changes of policy from late 1960s onwards and multiple household fragmented families. New Zealand went in direction some here advocating. Result is almost all water courses horribly polluted and rivers dead: not fit for consumption or the wild swimming that was popular
