It was hard to work with him because he wouldn't listen. - Caleb Cooper (farmer, tractor driver)
_________________ _____
A popular car show host and columnist, a grumpy old man who has repeatedly been on the British media's blacklist, a person who cannot tell the difference between barley and wheat, a plant killer, suddenly has the idea of running a farm.
The sowing season was hit by a rainy season that only occurs once in decades, the growing season was hit by the driest spring on record, and the harvest season was hit by a once-in-a-century epidemic. After a busy year, the net profit was £144.
But he never imagined that he could derive such pure joy from his Lamborghini tractor, the deer and rabbits in the fields, the sandwiches made from the wheat he grew himself, and the juice squeezed from the apples he grew himself.
This book is the most authentic and vivid record of the "rural life" that was chaotic but also full of fun.

A bad day on the farm is better than a good day in the office. -Jeremy Clarkson
About the Author
Jeremy Clarkson, born in 1960, is a British media person and writer. He writes columns for several newspapers and magazines such as The Sunday Times and The Sun every week, but he is more widely known for being the host of the British BBC 2 TV program Top Gear. His hosting style is humorous and he often says surprising things.
In 2008, he bought a farm with 6,000 acres of land and hired local people to run it. Ten years later, when the people he hired retired, he suddenly had the idea to run the farm himself.
This process was filmed by Amazon into a reality documentary, with the first season starting in September 2019 and lasting until the fall of 2020.

The English Tao Yuanming, the Don Quixote riding a Rambo, the kind-hearted version of MacDonald, the Dickens of the Twitter era, all these labels can define him. The most suitable one is the old unlucky guy. - Douban user Foley
