But Harriet revealed that the industry has little financial gain for the family, explaining it's a lifestyle more than a business. Speaking on BBC's Farmwatch, she explained: "We cannot reiterate how important this is for us, that we don't do this because it's going to make us money. Because probably 90% of farms do not make money from the farm, I know I don't." The Great British Bake Off's Mike Wilkins added it was because farmers don't pay themselves, with any money being fed back into the farm. Agreeing, Harriet added: "We just work for free seven days a week, and it becomes such a lonely, lonely place." "Profitability is so under pressure," added Mike. "Most farms aren't making any money, and people really are doing it because it's their lifestyle." Harriet joined the team at Diddly Squat Farm when regular face Kaleb Cooper was on tour promoting his book. Away from the series, Harriet is a full-time nurse as well as helping on her family's farm. A new series of Clarkson's Farm is currently being filmed, and promises to show the most brutal side of the farming world yet with Diddly Squat suffering due to weather and illness outbreaks including an outbreak of Bovine Tuberculosis. Earlier today, Jeremy shared they're preparing for a 'disastrous' harvest as a result of the issues they've faced. Jeremy Clarkson suffers another blow as he reveals beloved dog died as Diddly Squat closed for 2 MONTHS over TB outbreak "It looks like this year's harvest will be catastrophic," he wrote on X. "That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. "If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth." When one fan told him that this particular 'drama' will make 'good TV' in a future episode of Clarkson's Farm, the former Top Gear star replied: 'Yes. But most farms don't have TV shows to keep them going.' 5 The star says that noone makes money in the industry Credit: Instagram/harrietcowan_x

The powerful tool was nabbed on Tuesday night TOOLED UP 'What is going on with England?' Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper victim of £7,000 tool theft as fans share their fury Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLARKSON'S Farm star Kaleb Cooper was the victim of soaring tool theft after robbers nicked his £7,000 farm tool. The farmer turned TV hero, 27, told fans his pricey post knocker, used for hammering in fences, had been stolen from Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, on Tuesday night.

Cooper fumed on Instagram: 'My post knocker was stolen last night. 'As well as the John Deere tractor. 'Can we please make this as hot as possible! 'What is going on with England at the moment!' Home & Country Fencing, the company whose tractor was also stolen, said on social media: 'Unfortunately, we have had one of our tractors and post knockers stolen overnight. 'There has been a silver 4 x 4 burnt out just down the road which is possibly related.' Kaleb, who joined Sun columnist Jeremy, 65, as his farm hand on the Amazon Prime smash hit, is thought to have loaned his post knocker to a fencing company which was robbed. The powerful tool uses a massive hydraulic hammer to drive fence posts into hard surfaces to keep them safe and stable. Clarkson had bought the ProtechP200S and branded it one of his 'maddest' bits of kit on his Diddly Squat Farm, in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. Jeremy Clarkson left fuming and slams the 'fun police' as his very pricey new advert is BANNED from Last year, he wrote of the device's 240kg hammer: 'Until these hydraulic post-knockers came along you had to use a manual one, nicknamed a 'man killer'. 'There's nothing that wears you out more than manually knocking in a fencepost, particularly around here where the ground is 90 per cent stone. 'So the hydraulic machine is a very good invention, although it's also a scary-looking thing. 'It could be used in Gangs of Chipping Norton. This really would break you in half. 'But we got all the fences done — not terribly well, but we did a pretty good job.' Farm thefts have rocketed in the last decade, with many rural businesses bringing in anti-robbery measures. Gangs of organised thugs on quad bikes have also spent years targeting farms with little or no security measures. Rural crime on farms, including machinery and livestock theft, costs the UK economy at least £50million a year. NFU Mutual, the insurance company used by many farmers, reported the total cost of vehicle and GPS theft amounted to more than £7million in 2024 alone. Kaleb's representative and Thames Valley Police were asked to comment. 5 Farm thefts have skyrocketed in the last decade costing the UK economy at least £50 million a year Credit: PA
