Teaching consumers about farming. Jeremy Clarkson's show on Amazon - Clarksons Farm.

[joedales]

Hi Everyone,

If you want to watch a funny but sincere show about modern farming.....I was surprised how much I liked the show Clarksons Farm on Amazon Prime TV.

Here is a little video about the show with an interview with actor Jeremy Clarkson.

Take care and have a safe harvest.

Ya it's pretty funny. Not sure if city people would find it the same. Extra funny when things go wrong and you've been there done that and had the same cursing reactions he does.

At the supper table the other night I started telling my kids about my day, started saying "guess what happened". My 9yr olds answer was Dad did you have another swearing fit? I didnt realize it was that common around here, but watching the Clarkson guy and his reactions I guess it might be true.

I find it quite relatable to as well. Like when his sheep all jump the stone wall and take off through the barley, trying to get government approval for an new building, or incessant mud swallowing everything.

I already had my “swearing fit” today with trying to move some Moo Moos out of bush so thick that it’s hard to walk through. They won by the way😉

Great show.

Started watching McLoed’s Daughters on Amazon as well. It’s an Australian series from a few years ago with a lot of country humour as well.

Usually watch at least a show or two at night as a way to “zone out” and try to leave the stress behind. 🍀

So let me get this straight, you watch TV shows about the trials and tribulations of farming to try to escape from the trials and tribulations of farming?

That sounds like when I used to be a mechanic , and spend all day fixing and then come home and fix our own stuff and my neighbor's stuff just for some variety

Ya too much farming, could be bad for mental health

Nah it’s just comforting to know that I’m not the only one who has F-ups on a regular basis. And seeing the interesting family interactions is great and relatable too. 😉

My wife and I have been really enjoying it. I love the young helper farmer, Caleb. But the guy who makes the show is the fence builder guy that you can’t understand! They make sure he gets a blurb in each episode. Ha. It shows the failures, the flea beetles eating his ****seed. Too much rain, not enough rain. Reliance on spraying, and the love hate relationship of chemical use.

Interesting to me is the paperwork to ensure a subsidy. And interesting how they grow a crop using that crazy tiny machinery. How long it must take with a twelve foot cultidiscinatorthingy! Use of tramlines.

I also like the funny ideas and diversity of products he tries to produce and sell. The wasabi failure, was a hoot! Because it is exactly what we do, go to restaurants and take samples and try to cut a deal with the chef.

One more episode tonight. Sounds like they are doing a second season.

Highly recommend.

"...used to be..."

I still do that to unwind.

Every night I put a rear end in the LazyBoy.

Hopefully Gerald gets his own spinoff show.

Awesome thx Joe 👍

[SASKFARMER]

It's Good my sons started watching it this summer and I did finally in August.

[joedales]

Hopefully Gerald gets his own spinoff show.

Introducing Clarksons Farm's fence builder and head of security, 72 years old Gerald......watch the combine scene near the end.

Never seen a new Range Rover SUV used as a farm/work truck.

I got a chuckle out of Jeremys backing up skills with the grain wagon.
