Mistake Not... |
I will reiterate that I LOVE THIS SERIES! It's funny AF. It's clever and smart. It's absolutely topical. It's demonstrating that farming is critically endangered without, IMO, being strident about it. It shows something that, at least in America, is almost always lost: the face of the farmer. I am constantly struck by Jeremy Fing Clarkson, the same JFC who was on the Grand Tour and Top Gear, THAT GUY: cries at the loss of his livestock; supports locals trying to keep their livelihood alive, and cares about good, local foods. It really is great TV. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

| Thank you Very little  |
Clarkson has been quite the entertainer, Top Gear was a success because of him, it's not been the same since. Clarksons Farm is a great view of how the UK's government squashes farmers with all kinds of laws as well as the crazy locals and his ideas that drive them nuts, great stuff. | |||

The technology on the Belgian farm he visited was astounding as was the floating dairy farm in Rotterdam. He must be doing ok as season 6 is in production | |||

He can certainly afford the finest treatment money can buy. I hope he's around for a long time. Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -- George Orwell | |||

Fixed it for you  Both the potato farm and the floating dairy farm were really interesting, great show-shift to feature modern AG methods. The potato farm I viewed simply as the natural evolution of farming, using available technology to maximize your property's yield, should be music to any farmer/rancher's ears. | |||

If there was ever a good way to have cancer, it’s the early discovery prostate variety. Even 15 yr survival rates are in the 95% rate. Just hoping Jeremy is on the good side of that because he’s one of my favorite TV personalities of all time. Could have done without the crazy bird lady, though.This message has been edited.

Finally wrapped-up the final episode...I thought this season was one of the better ones, less buffoonery and more of the unique challenges of farming, with a few pleasant uplifting parts. I'm going to fuckin' pub, that is the last straw  Good thing he caught the cancer signs, however his heart is the other part that's threatening his health. All the best to Jezza and Lisa. | |||

I love the series and think that Jeremy is really doing his rural (farming) neighbors a mitzvah by putting so much time and energy into exploring their plight and the terrible way "progressives" have harmed working people in general. They needed a voice and he's certainly providing one. I'm praying that he can overcome these health issues and provide that voice for many years to come.
