Life on Diddly Squat Farm is never plain sailing. And going by the latest from the farm, season four of Clarkson's Farm expected to follow suit in typical dramatic fashion.
Clarkson's Farm season three was released around six weeks ago in early May, with the series binged by millions in the first few weeks.
It quickly rose to the top of Amazon Prime Video's most watched lists and remains in the top ten shows to this date, second only to the freshly released fourth season of The Boys.

The third outing continued on Jeremy's career path as a full-time farmer, running a 1,000-acre plot in the Cotswolds that he has in fact owned since 2008.
As rows continue with the local council and tragedy hits the farm, there are more lessons to be learnt by the former Top Gear man who is only half a decade in to his agricultural career.
Clarkson and his team are now powering ahead with the fourth season of the hit show, which has seen real world change, through the new 'Clarkson's Clause' introduced just before the 2024 general election.

But it hasn't been plain sailing, with Diddly Squat Farm hit by major disaster this week as images of the arable land was shown from a low-flying plane.
"It’s going to be a rough year. All that seed sowed, drowned with the constant rain," the Diddly Squat Farm Shop's Instagram page wrote, showing images of farm fields destroyed by constant downpours.
And that bad luck with the weather looks to be a consistent theme going by a new update from Kaleb Cooper.

Kaleb has become a star of Clarkson's Farm since it aired, with the 25-year-old showing wisdom beyond his years as he helps train Jeremy in his quest to become a real farmer.
Becoming farm manager of Diddly Squat's 500 acres of crops in season three, his importance to Jeremy and the team has only grown as time has gone on.
But an update on his Instagram Stories has given cause for concern in a similar way to the one from the farm shop.
Posting an image from his tractor's seat, Kaleb wrote: "Great year we have had."

The image showed two long mud trails created by tractor wheels full to the brim with rain water.
It's probably no wonder, then, that Jeremy has diversified his farm ahead of season four with his biggest fields used to grow produce that we can't eat as he fights to hit government quotas when it comes to getting farming subsidies.
"There are pages and pages and pages of rules and regulations on [government subsidies], and I’ll be honest I haven’t read many (any) of them because that’s Cheerful Charlie’s job," Jeremy wrote in a column for The Sunday Times. "But what I do know is that this year the biggest field on the farm is being used to grow a herbal lay called GS4.

"And all you need to know about this is: you can’t eat it."
