Clarkson’s Farm Targeted by Drone-Wielding Robbers, But He Has the Perfect Deterrent

BBG News

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he was forced to call the police after thieves targeted his farm.

64-year-old Jeremy Clarkson, who was previously a host on Top Gear, bought Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire way back in 2008. Since then, this farm has become the central theme for his hit Amazon Prime series, Clarkson’s Farm.

Nevertheless, having a TV presence didn’t deter possible thieves from targeting the farm and its livestock. In fact, Jeremy disclosed in his The Sun article that they had employed drones to survey the location.

Two weeks past, a group of five individuals arrived at the farmyard in a vehicle. They inspected the security cameras and inquired from Kaleb Cooper about the number of dogs present there.

I shared the details with the police who informed me that the license plates on the van were copied. Even more concerning, over the past week, a drone was seen patrolling both my house and the farmyard on two different nights.

Following the police advice to ensure my security measures were robust, I personally chose an unconventional yet effective solution – a flock of guinea fowl. These feathered friends are my preferred deterrent against potential intruders.

In the article, it was disclosed that his daughter and son-in-law presented him with a dozen birds as a Christmas gift, in retaliation for his continuous purchase of noisy toys for his granddaughter.

According to Jeremy, the noise made by the guinea fowls is so loud that it would deter any potential thief. In fact, he likened their vocalizations to the sound produced during NASA’s testing of its 37-million horsepower Space Shuttle engines.

Regarding the effectiveness of his security systems, he assuredly stated: “You can take my word for it. They’re top-notch. Any would-be burglar attempting to break in will find themselves reduced to a bloody, pulpy mess.

While Jeremy’s farm faces challenges, there’s positive news for his fellow actor Kaleb Cooper.

Or, even simpler: While Jeremy’s farm is in danger, there’s a bright side for Kaleb Cooper.

Both sentences convey the same meaning but use different phrasing to make them more natural and easier to read.

According to Richard Eden of The Mail, it was disclosed that Jeremy earned a £910,000 profit through Kaleb Cooper Productions, the firm where he funnels his income from the series.

The accounts show that there are approximately £960,000 worth of assets prior to paying bills, with around £400,000 of that being cash on hand. On the other hand, his earnings over the period from July 2023 to June 2024 totaled a profit of about £666,000.

In the year 2021, he established his television enterprise, and currently, he manages this venture concurrently with agricultural ventures named K Cooper Contracting and K Cooper Holdings.

The total earnings from that location add up to £100,000, which means Cooper has achieved his first million pounds in assets at the age of 26.

Originally from Chipping Norton, he’s been expressing his desire for a personal farm for quite some time. Now, with his recent rise in popularity, this aspiration appears to be within his grasp.

Previously, Kaleb pointed out that he only pays himself a small wage of 50 pence per hour because the expenses and profits in farming can be unpredictable, particularly when trying out new business ideas.

In the year 2022, he mentioned: “During my self-employment, while I’m tending to my morning calves – I purchased eight of them.

I’ve got a fresh approach to starting a business. Essentially, I purchase young cattle (calves), nurse them using milk, which costs around £200 per calf. After nine months, I sell these calves.

He mentioned, “I’m attempting to generate a profit and test its viability. I calculated this recently, have you wondered about my hourly wage, including what I pay myself? It’s approximately 50 pence per hour.

It’s quite remarkable that the amount Jeremy praises Kaleb for his relentless work ethic doesn’t seem to reflect in his hourly rate, given that Jeremy considers him as ‘the hardest worker I know’. This is because Kaleb puts in a grueling 18 hours of work each day without any days off.

Kaleb, the father of two young ones, Oscar aged three, and Willa at one, shares this dream with his fiancée Taya. He has made it clear that his ultimate ambition in life is to have a farm of his own, an aspiration he cherishes deeply.
