Jeremy Clarkson, a well-known motoring journalist turned farmer, recently admitted he felt "ashamed" after a mistake at his Diddly Squat Farm in Warwickshire left his manager, Kaleb Cooper, close to tears. The incident took place during a farming exhibition, where Clarkson was demonstrating barley drilling—a process used to plant seeds in fields. The event was attended by many farmers, who were expected to see a professional demonstration of the technique. According to reports, Clarkson made several errors during the demonstration. He did not level the drilling machine properly, forgot to turn on the fan that helps spread the seeds evenly, and failed to keep the machine moving in a straight line. These mistakes led to what was described as a "shambles," leaving the field in disarray. Kaleb Cooper, who is not from a farming background, had already faced some skepticism from local farmers. This incident only added to his concerns about how the work would be perceived by others in the community. During the Hawkstone Harvest Festival at The Farmer's Dog pub, Clarkson recounted the incident in a candid moment. He admitted that the mistake had deeply affected him, saying he felt so ashamed that he went home and drank 42 pints of Hawkstone ale to feel better. He described it as his worst professional mistake to date. The incident was reported by the Oxford Mail, which noted that Clarkson openly confessed to his error during the festival. The report highlighted the contrast between Clarkson's usual confident persona and his moment of vulnerability, offering a rare glimpse into the challenges of managing a farm, even for someone with his experience and media presence.
