If four seasons of Clarkson’s Farm have taught us anything, it’s that farmers are an unflappable bunch.
Even in the face of declining harvests, biblical floods, and Jeremy Clarkson’s innovative (and by innovative we mean calamitous) farming techniques, nothing gets them down.
It’s perhaps unsurprising then that Kaleb Cooper – Jeremy’s right-hand man and farm manager – remained incredibly cool-headed while his wife went into labour with their third child.
Jeremy told the story in his column for The Sun, writing: ‘The boy wonder Kaleb Cooper, who manages my farm, received word this week that his wife was in labour.
“‘Right,’ he said. “I’ll be there when I’ve finished harvesting this field.”
‘How farmerish is that?!?!’

According to Jeremy, once he’d finished the harvest, Kaleb’s attention turned to naming the newborn.
One of their friends supposedly thought it would be a good idea to name the kid after the field that Kaleb had been harvesting when the news came through.
As nice an idea as this was, Jeremy did point out one flaw: ‘the field was called Deadman.’
Yeah… maybe not.
The news that Kaleb has welcomed his third child will come as sweet relief to the hard workers on Diddly Squat Farm, which has been his by repeated disasters in recent months.
In July, Jeremy revealed that one of his cows had tested positive for TB, which meant they had to quarantine the cattle farm and one of their newborn puppies passed away.
Following that, the 65-year-old revealed that the harvest this year had been catastrophically bad.
Finally, the former Top Gear host turned farming advocate revealed filming on Clarkson’s Farm had been disrupted by JD Vance’s visit to the Cotswolds.
Still, the bad news didn’t stop Jeremy from celebrating A-Level results day with his annual tweet telling students not to worry about their results, as his were bad and he now has a helicopter pad.
All four seasons of Clarkson’s Farm are available to stream now on Amazon Prime.
