Clarkson's farm: health, season 6 and ongoing disputes

Entities: Jeremy Clarkson · Diddly Squat Farm · Kaleb Cooper · The Farmer's Dog · Lisa Hogan

Overview

Late May 2026 the Great British Farm‑Fest attracted 55,000 visitors but saw several traders walk out early, describing the event as a financial "shambles" despite high footfall. In early June Clarkson reported weekly thefts from his Farmer’s Dog pub – around 400 pint glasses, £200 of cooking oil and other items – prompting a price rise to stay viable. The same month the launch of series 5 drove crowds to the farm shop and the pub, earning praise from fellow farmer Adam Henson as a boost for public understanding of agriculture. A calf‑castration segment in early June turned chaotic when the animal expelled diarrhoea, drenching Clarkson and sparking on‑screen jokes. A 2016 Deutz‑Fahr tractor customised with Lamborghini branding sold at auction for £70,500 ahead of the season’s release. Clarkson disclosed an aggressive prostate‑cancer diagnosis in the final episodes of series 5, describing early detection, surgery and HIFU treatment. Follow‑up PSA tests in June and July confirmed remission, leading him to urge men across the UK to undergo regular screening. July saw the purchase of new cattle in the Scottish Borders and a one‑night staff celebration at The Farmer’s Dog, while the feud with wildlife presenter Chris Packham intensified after Packham criticised the show’s depiction of modern farms. Clarkson responded in his Sun column, defending the series and calling Packham “endlessly angry.” He also warned that unusually dry grain raised a genuine fire risk on Diddly Squat. Partner Lisa Hogan confirmed filming of season 6 in late July, and Clarkson reiterated concerns about a forthcoming Net‑Zero fertiliser tax, noting 200 acres were left unplanted and suggesting leasing land to agribusinesses or solar farms. In early August farm regulars launched a YouTube channel, celebrating a million‑view milestone and sharing personal updates, including Clarkson’s remission and staff milestones.
