Is that common knowledge?
I think you're (sadly) correct. Mind, it's only sad for us the viewers. Clarkson, at 64 years old, with a net worth of near £60 million hardly has much incentive to continue slogging his guts off.

I heard them say the same, that season 4 will be the last, or something to that effect.

Don't forget there was all that bks spouted before season 2 aired that Amazon were going to cancel it then because Clarkson had been nasty to Meghan. I'll believe that it's cancelled when Amazon announce it.

They are on a rolling contract from what I have seen, depending on how the viewing figures are they renew the series for the season after, so if series three is well received they will do a contract for season five.

Don't forget it was Jezza that insisted The Grand Tour and subsequently Clarksons Farm was released on a weekly basis and not all in one go, people forget that Jeremy Clarkson is very smart, and it's Jezza that is the loudmouth oaf.

I know Jezza is getting on, but he seems to love the farm and if he's there anyway with his girlfriend and Kaleb is going to have to work the farm and Charlie doing the paperwork just having a film crew there is really the only cost, Jezza has said the farm MUST make money, he doesn't need to earn money himself and I could see him not wanting much for the show if it means the show can continue, he also needs a platform and he's not happy about brexit or how farmers or car drivers are being treated, even the French farmers when they were protesting referenced Jezza saying the problems he is having is the same as all farmers.

I would think the show is pretty cheap to make considering it's what can be called a global show, Jezza is a character even a caricature and on occasions in Top Gear and The Grand Tour we have seen the real Jeremy but in Clarksons Farm we have seen even more of the real Jeremey, and as long as he wants to do the show, the show will still be created, even if he did his own thing on Youtube like Harry does, but if Amazon didn't want the show, i am pretty sure ITV would be first in line and if they say no the BBC would pick it up.

I cannot wait for this series to start, to say I am hyped is an understatement!

It depends on if he enjoys doing it. He's been wealthy for a long time so he could have retired years ago if that's what he wanted to do.

Someone like Clarkson will never retire.

In fact the farm is his retirement.

I'm really looking forward to this, the trailer looks great. It'd be a shame if it ends after Season 4, doesn't make much sense either as I don't think Clarkson is the retiring type in the way that I think May is. Now with TGT over, he has more time to focus on the farm compared to Season 1.

I just watched Ep1 Series 3 here in the US.
The enjoyment came to an abrupt end in the last minute.

Of the two options closed should always be the default. It's a lot easier to open a gate than it is to collect (or avoid) animals that have gone on the loose through one that's been left open.

Apparently, the country code is to leave them as you find them. Local farmer in my mother`s village has just been putting the local dog walkers right on Facebook.

I'm currently sat watching 150 heiffers from my dining room while having my 2nd morning cuppa. There is a public f/path right thru the middle ofthe field and I've just seen 2 people get half way across......see the cows (and bull) turn around and go back from where they came from.....I went to check the gate just in case and lo an behold, whilst closed to, they hadn't actually lifted the gate and / or pulled hard enoughfor the latch to engage.

ps there is a stile next to the gate but clearly they didn't want to climb over it.
