THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Head back down to Clarkson Farm with the latest bestseller from our favourite welly-wearing wannabe farmer, Jeremy Clarkson
___________
Enthusiastic trainee farmer Jeremy Clarkson made just £144 in his first year at Diddly Squat Farm. This year he's determined to do better. Not because he now knows what he's doing. But because he's fed up of getting stick from Kaleb.
Yet farming continues to be a challenge.
For instance . . .
· Loading a grain trailer was more demanding than flying an Apache gunship?
· Cows were more dangerous than motor-racing?
· It's easier to get planning permission to build a nuclear plant than to turn a barn into a restaurant?
Jeremy's always got a plan. Loads of them. Often cunning.
Not always greeted with wild enthusiasm by Kaleb and Cheerful Charlie, however . . .

'A deserving Farming Champion of the Year' Farmers Weekly
'I don't know anything about farming. It's like David Attenborough doing jet-skiing, or Nicholas Witchell saying, "I'm going to be a cage fighter'" Jeremy Clarkson
Kundenrezensionen
Great continuation from the First Book
The first Book was funnier but this one was still funny with Jeremy’s unique dark humour on the one Hand and provided great insights into the challenges farmers, as well as Jeremy Clarkson have to face on the other hand.
It’s slightly more political towards the end which is fine to me as long as it won’t take overhand. You have to keep in mind many of his challenges on the farm are mainly intransparent, political ones which can be frustrating at times.
All in all a great book, especially if you’ve watched the series!
