Jeremy Clarkson has shed light on yet another “devastating” blow to his squat farm.
The former High Gear host and star of Amazon Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm has been an open book when it comes to detailing the challenges of his farm.
Last month, the 65-year-old shared the “huge disruption” caused by a bovine tuberculosis (BTB) outbreak.
Now, however, Clarkson has revealed that his pub, The Farmer’s Dog, was targeted by hackers who stole £27,000 from its accounting system.
Sharing the news in his column for the Solar, he said: ‘Jaguar Land Rover had to shut down its production lines this week after its systems were breached by computer hackers.
“And we’re told that similar attacks have been launched in recent months at M&S and the Co-op. But no one thought to mention that my pub, the Farmer’s Dog, was also hit.
He continued: ‘It was, though. Someone hacked into our accounting system and helped themselves to £27,000.
When times are tough, I always find a good laugh helps, which is why I sat down this week to watch the endlessly entertaining Green Party announce its new leader. They didn’t disappoint.
The hacking incident is just the latest in a long series of setbacks at the WHO wants to be a millionaire presenter’s farm, however.
Clarkson recently recounted how her farm suffered a monumental setback that was “a worry for anyone who eats food.”
Taking to X, he vented his frustration at the state of this year’s crops while complaining about the perceived discrepancy between how the agricultural industry is treated compared to others.
“It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic,” he wrote on social media.
‘This should be a concern for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had happened in any other industry, there would be much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
After another user responded that this would be ‘good news’ for vegans, who eat ‘imported soy’, Jeremy clarified: ‘er No. It’s the crops that have been disastrous.
I planted 400,000 beets. Two grew.’
Its harvest came after a summer of high temperatures in the UK.
