Clarkson's Farm - Season 5
#1
Released on June 3rd. I remember being hesitant to watch it, but with genuine interest of Jeremy to build something on his farmland is actually quiet entertaining.

Jeremy is known for saying what he thinks and being rational most times, other times he may express personal opinion as we all do. The show turned out very grounded with ease of mind approach that doesn't bog down into minor details but follows daily events as he manages the farm with various professionals assisting him from different trades - sheep shearing, meat processing, soil management, harvest requirements, equipment, financial management. Pretty much daily management, but with responsibility in the hands of Jeremy, it's mostly dry humour which you can either enjoy or dismiss if you're a serious watcher.

In the 3rd episode, he ventures to other large scale farms to learn from which are more modernized, to see where he can gain an advantage over old methods of farming by introducing technology which can either automate field work, or get data about the soil and how to efficiently treat it. 

The series is quiet eye opening at times to see what is involved in managing a farm. It's a practical, hands-on career which has it's pro's and cons. 

With Amazon's production team, Jeremy's comfort of own home, and his gained popularity - it's one of the best "reality-shows" that guys can enjoy. 

His show also shares the reality of farmers and what they deal with. So when their farming regulations change at a drop of a hat, you understand the impact, which pretty much always results in giving away earnings as tax and having new challenges to overcome.
