Jeremy Clarkson pays tribute to Kaleb Cooper as he slaps down major misconception about Clarkson’s Farm star
Jeremy Clarkson has praised Diddly Squat Farm manager Kaleb Cooper after hearing about some of the misconceptions about the star.

“But because he doesn’t read newspapers or books, he doesn’t know about anything else.”
The high praise from Clarkson comes after Cooper issued a cryptic statement about his future on the farm and working with Clarkson.
Since starting with Clarkson, Cooper has made no secret about his desire to one day buy and run his own farm.
It could be coming sooner than fans think as he recently took to his Instagram to share a reflective post.
Sharing a snap of himself gazing into the distance over the picturesque fields of a nearby farm, he reflected: “Crazy how times fly when you’re having fun…
