Jeremy Clarkson Says Bovine TB Has Hit Diddly Squat Farm in Latest 'Disaster'

The TV presenter casts the outbreak as the latest crisis chronicled in his Amazon farming series.

Overview

  • Clarkson said a vet confirmed the bovine TB case earlier this year and he posted that everyone at the farm was "absolutely devastated."
  • Local reports state at least one cow expecting twins was put down to limit potential spread following the positive test.
  • He told The Telegraph there has not been a single normal year at the 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm, citing COVID, a blocked restaurant plan, mass pig deaths and relentless rain.
  • The fourth series of Clarkson's Farm aired earlier this year and covers setbacks including efforts to open The Farmer's Dog pub and ongoing bureaucracy.
  • Companies House filings show W Chump and Sons was voluntarily wound up with just over £24 million remaining, underscoring shifts around Clarkson’s media ventures.
