Jeremy Clarkson has given a cutting response to a suggestion at his Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.
The Top Gear star has switched from automobiles to agriculture since the roaring success of his latest series, Clarkson’s Farm.
Set at Mr Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, the Prime Video show documents day-to-day life on the farm.

Mr Clarkson clearly disagreed with the suggestion and replied: “We are doing all the right things. Including not going organic. Which doesn’t work.”
Clarkson’s Farm season four is being filmed and produced after season three was released in May.
