Clarkson’s Farm star Caleb Cooper reveals jaw-dropping sum he pays himself for Diddly Squat work
CLARKSON’S Farm star Caleb Cooper shared the eye-watering amount he paid himself for his Diddly Squat job.
When he was hired as Jeremy Clarkson‘s primary advisor in the Prime Video series, farming contractor Kaleb Cooper, 24, had never left his hometown.
On Amazon Prime’s series, the 23-year-old bosses (and insults) Jeremy, 61, around the farm in the Cotswolds.
He changed the farm’s name to “Diddly Squat” to reflect its low output.
The fields, which were mostly edible, were maintained in a cycle of barley, rapeseed, and wheat by a villager named Howard, who retired in 2019.
Later, Clarkson made the decision to try farming the land himself and hired Caleb to assist him.
Caleb- who previously said his goal was to have his own farm- has now started his own business. He has eight claves that he is raising in the intention of selling them for a profit.
He revealed the staggering low amount he paid himself for his hard work.
Caleb opened up about the difficulties farmers face in an interview with Jeremy Clarkson on the Performance People podcast hosted by Ben and Georgie Ainslie.
The ambitious farmed began: “But, I worked out the other day how much my hourly rate is. I pay myself 50p an hour so then I can make money.
“But if I put myself at £10 an hour I don’t make money, I lose money on the calves.
Despite the difficulties he confronts, he is still pursuing his final goal.
Caleb shared: “My main goal is by far to buy my own farm, you know, and then that is where the dream is.”
Clarkson’s Farm’s is available to watch on Amazon Prime.
