has opened up about the harsh realities of the farming world despite the success of his show, . The beloved television personality and newfound farming enthusiast - whose adventures on the farm are captivating audiences in the latest season - has admitted that popularity doesn't translate to a booming agriculture business.

Sharing a candid insight with an admirer, Jeremy didn't hold back in expressing the dismal state of his agricultural project, suggesting he might earn more money doing pretty much anything else. This blunt confession comes after he recently compared farmers to miners, proclaiming both as mere 'pawns for politicians'.

Clarkson humorously suggested that venturing into an altogether different sales venture might result in greater profits than his current agricultural ones. His straightforward remarks were prompted by a fan who praised Clarkson's Farm for its engaging content while hinting that the show was just plastering over the financial cracks caused by the farming operation.

A fan had commented: "Have watched all of the series, they're quite entertaining. But, please don't try to tell me he earns more from farming than from Amazon Video".

Jeremy responded with his signature straightforwardness: "I could earn more from selling my toe nail clippings than farming. And I have a horrible feeling that this year will be worse than ever.", reports

The indefatigable former host, Jeremy Clarkson, is buzzing with plans to revamp his farm's visitor experience, recently mulling over an "outdoor cinema" suggestion from a devotee this May.

Clarkson has teased fans about potentially hosting outdoor cinema nights at his farm, sparking enthusiasm after discussing a fan's pitch on social media. The fan excitedly suggested: "Why don't you put a big screen projector TV on your farm and make picnic baskets of your produce or allow people to have picnics using local produce and encourage food trucks etc. Bring back the outdoor cinema for sunset screenings. It's so fun."

Engaging eagerly, Clarkson responded: "Been talking about that very thing today."

This comes amid varied reviews of his pub, The Farmer's Dog, where some critique the prices.

One critic pointed out the expense: "Thought Jeremy Clarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much."

Quick with a comeback, Clarkson quipped: "Have you seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I'll give you a job."

Amid mixed views on what constitutes fair prices, an original commenter admitted their perplexity: "To be honest I wouldn't know what is a decent price anymore. Constantly changing."

Another chimed in with jest: "It ain't Wetherspoons, pal."

On the other hand, a satisfied customer lauded the restaurant: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local produce - stop whinging!".
