Jeremy Clarkson shares farming revenge plan against co-star Kaleb Cooper: 'My first ever win'

The former Top Gear star has been waiting for the right moment to prove himself
Jeremy Clarkson has relied heavily on Clarkson's Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper throughout his Diddly Squat journey, with the 26-year-old far more clued up about farming than the former Top Gear host.
Clarkson, 64, first launched the Amazon Prime series in 2021, with seasoned farmer Cooper quickly becoming his right-hand man.
Clarkson and Cooper have become close but the two also find themselves butting heads occasionally.
Clarkson recently admitted: "I struggle to argue with him about farming because he just knows more than I do (he gets very frustrated with me!)."
He continued: "But when we do things like trying to repair the dam, that's construction, and neither of us really know what we're doing there.
"So that was one of our big arguments. Then he was made to wear health and safety equipment, which nearly killed him because he stepped off the machine still attached to it and hit his head."

The Grand Tour star has addressed the jokey feud with his co-star once again as he confessed he was plotting his revenge.
At the start of his farming journey, Clarkson went against the advice of Cooper, deciding to rear a flock of sheep.
However, after 12 months he gave them up, handing them to a local shepherd and vowing never to work with sheep again.
Cooper made clear his superior farming knowledge by responding at the time with "I told you so".

It seems Clarkson hasn't let the moment go, and in his most recent column in The Times, he revealed his plan for revenge.
"Last month, I bought a small shoulder of lamb and it cost £27," he wrote.
"So I looked into the market, found that lamb prices are quite high at the moment and, much to Kaleb’s disgust, immediately bought a new flock of my own."
He went on to describe the flock as "EasyCare sheep," with the breed intended for low-input farming, The Sun reports.
He went on to detail how he's been advised not to put cows in the same field as the sheep as the cows might eat discarded wool, which can be bad for their health.
Clarkson is "certain" Cooper has no idea about this particular fact, which he plans to use for his advantage.

"When the sheep move on from their field and he puts the shorthorn (cows) in there, I can pull an incredulous face and wonder out loud how he can call himself a farmer if he didn't know that," Clarkson wrote.
He added: "It'll be my first ever farming win."
Clarkson seems to have given the plan some thought as he addressed how some readers may think he's scuppered his own plan by writing a published piece about it.
However, he revealed he knows for certain Cooper "doesn't read the newspapers."
