Fifth season of Clarkson's Farm could be the last

Through the Prime Video series, Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy Clarkson has highlighted the difficulties faced within farming while becoming one of the biggest advocates for the industry.  

Having created a link between farmer and consumer through the show, talks of the series ending after its fifth season could cause a break in this connection.

Cheshire dairy farmer Kelly Seaton says if the show ends it will be a sad day for the industry as it has raised the profile of farming within an audience that otherwise would not have been engaged with the challenges in agriculture both day to day and politically. 

"The show has given the industry allies across not just the UK but the world who have fallen in love with the entertainment of the show whilst learning so much about how food is produced and how much farmers truly care about the work we do.  

"This includes the younger generation who have been inspired to enter the industry which gives us real hope for the survivability of UK food production.  

"I am sure this will not be the last we see of Clarkson, Lisa, Kaleb and Cheerful Charlie advocating for the farming sector and doing what no-one else has managed to do: linking the farmer and the consumer in a way that only Clarkson can.  

"So, if this is the end, that leaves me to say on behalf of all farmers, thank you Jeremy, what you have done has been amazing for the industry."  

Mr Clarkson told the Sunday times that the team will be taking a break after filming season five and this will probably be the last unless he finds a good enough reason for doing another season.

Greater Manchester pig and arable farmer Lewis Clare says the British public already have an interest in farming but there was a gap in the market for a farming show before Clarkson's Farm came along.  

"I think farming was covered dreadfully on TV before, so it may be a catalyst for other, new shows.  

"I do think it [Clarkson's Farm] has been a big positive for the industry in communicating the challenges to the public, but how long lasting that legacy will be is hard to call."
