Jeremy Clarkson is trying to raise awareness of farmers who take their own lives.
Jeremy Clarkson speaks out about farmers taking their own lives
The ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ presenter - who purchased Diddly Squat farm in 2008 and began filming his Amazon Prime Show in 2019 - has spoken out about the increasing number of rural workers choosing to end their lives amid the revelation that the rate is three times higher for farmers than the national average.
The 63-year-old broadcaster told the Daily Star newspaper: “How many farmers are literally on their own, absolutely on their own right now, on a tractor, and all they’re thinking is, ‘I’m going to have zero money,’ and they’ve got a family at home.

Jeremy recently revealed that certain bottles of his Hawkstone Ciders need to be chucked “away” after there was an issue with the brewing.
He said on Twitter: "There’s been a massive c*** up and as a result, there’s a very slim chance, some of our Hawkstone CIDER bottles might, there’s no easy way of saying this, explode. If the cap has the code L3160, open it underwater, pour it away and get in touch for a refund."
The former ‘Top Gear’ presenter urged customers that Hawkstone Beer is still “fine and delicious” and “almost all” of the cider was not impacted by the problem. ~
Jeremy added: “Really sorry about this but on the upside, the beer is fine and still delicious. As is the cider, in bottles that are unaffected. Which is almost all of them.”
Over on Instagram, the brand - which was founded in 2021 and uses produced grown on his farm - said that "a small amount" of the apple-based alcoholic drink had over-fermented.
They continued: "Take a photo of the caps and we will send you a fresh batch or a refund.”
