Jeremy Clarkson has explained of his farming woes as the past few months have seen the wettest planting season on record and Covid-19 uncertainty.
Clarkson, a self-confessed 'inept townie', began filming his eight-part Amazon Prime series 'I Bought the Farm' in September 2019.
The series centres on the highs and lows of Clarkson's farming life on his 1,000 acre farm near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
The presenter said in an interview last year that switching from super cars to the steady pace of a tractor 'fills him with joy'.
But in a recent YouTube 'quarantine quiz' hosted by Clarkson, he was asked by journalist Rachael Hogg whether the farm show was going to air anytime soon.
He responded: "Yes, unfortunately a farming year is a year so we started in September and we'll finish, obviously in September when the harvest is in - if it's in," he said during the online pub quiz.
"As has been pointed out for me, we couldn't have picked a worse year to start farming.
"We had the wettest planting season on record, I mean the wettest not just slightly but by miles on record and just as soon as the rain stopped, everybody was told to go home and stay indoors.
"So, it's been difficult and - I'll show you actually - look how much mud I've got on my trousers. That's life of a farmer. Completely covered in mud from head to foot," Clarkson said.
