Jeremy Clarkson has spoken out about possibly selling his beloved Diddly Squat farm.

Season three of Clarkson's Farm is coming to Prime Video this weekend, as the seasoned motor journalist-turned-farmer returns to his 1,000 acre farm along with fan-favourites Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Charlie Ireland and Gerald Cooper.

In the latest instalment of the hit series, the ex-Top Gear host focuses on the 'unfarmed' land that makes up half of the area, which includes hedgerows and thick woodland.

Kaleb, on the other hand, is given the reins of the 'farmed' land, which Jeremy had been working on for the previous two seasons.

A challenge then ensues between the pair, to see who can make the most money on their part of Diddly Squat farm.

There are also a number of challenges that the team have to face, with crops failing in hot weather, inflation causing the prices of supplies to increase, and planning disputes with the West Oxfordshire District Council that have prevented a restaurant being opened on site.

In an interview with The Guardian, Jeremy lifted the lid on how much he enjoyed filming the Amazon Prime series, and how he is as a person as his time on The Grand Tour comes to a close.

While saying that the person that he is on The Grand Tour is a 'caricature' and 'exaggerated', he hailed the fact he can be himself with Clarkson's Farm.

Through his stories, it's clear that Jeremy is fully committed to his farming venture, learning to use all the necessary equipment to run Diddly Squat, even weighing in on climate change and how it is impacting him and his crops.

The 64-year-old has also previously talked about the financial demands of running the farm, and the minimal reward that many have to go through in the industry, which has been enough to put his children off taking over.

Apparently, they don't share the same interest, with his girlfriend Lisa Hogan saying that his kids would 'turf her out' to sell the farm instead of keeping it going - and Jeremy agreed.

He told The Guardian: “I keep telling them, 'Listen, when I’m dead, I don’t want you to sell it'.”

Jeremy revealed their reaction: "They look at me like, 'Are you joking?'"

But in the immediate future, it looks like Jeremy and Diddly Squat farm are here to stay, with Amazon Prime Video already confirming the show will be renewed for a fourth season.

Expanding on the topic of getting older, he said the idea of retiring and getting a 'hobby' makes him want to 'shoot myself in the head'.

Despite attempting and failing to write a thriller a few years ago, Jeremy says that he has about '70,000 hours left' and that opening a pub is on his list of things to do before he gets too old.

“We found one the other day which isn’t called The Shaven Mound, but is in my mind. Astonishingly beautiful, 750 years old, but parking would be impossible,” he explained.

Episodes one to four of Clarkson's Farm season three will be available on Amazon Prime Video on 3 May, with episodes five to eight available to stream from 10 May.
