Jeremy Clarkson has changed his stance on why he bought his farm, admitting he initially claimed it was to avoid inheritance tax for a better public image. He now states he wanted the land for pheasant shooting. Clarkson joined a protest against new agricultural inheritance tax changes, which impose a 20% tax on farm assets over £1 million. He expressed frustration at being seen as the face of the movement, stating it should be led by farmers. Despite his health issues, Clarkson remains active in media and farming. He acknowledged the hidden poverty among farmers, contrasting it with his own situation, and confirmed that his show, Clarkson's Farm, will return for a fifth season.
