Cheshire dairy farmerÌýKelly Seaton says if the show ends it will be a sad day for the industry asÌýit has raised the profile of farming within an audience that otherwise would not have been engaged with the challenges in agriculture both day to day and politically.Ìý

"The show has given the industry allies across not just the UK but the world who have fallen in love with the entertainment of the show whilst learning so much about how food is produced and how much farmersÌýtrulyÌýcareÌýaboutÌýthe work we do.ÌýÌý

"This includes the younger generation who have been inspired to enter the industry which gives us real hope for the survivability of UK food production.ÌýÌý

"I am sure thisÌýwill notÌýbe the last we see of Clarkson, Lisa, Kaleb and Cheerful Charlie advocating for the farming sector and doing what no-one else has managed to do: linking the farmer and the consumer in a way that only Clarkson can.ÌýÌý

"So,ÌýifÌýthis is the end, that leaves me to say on behalf of all farmers, thank you Jeremy,Ìýwhat you have done has been amazing for the industry."ÌýÌý

Mr Clarkson told the Sunday timesÌýthat the team will be taking a break after filming season five and this willÌýprobably beÌýthe last unless he finds a good enough reason for doing another season.ÌýÌý

"I think farmingÌýwas covered dreadfully on TV before, so it may be a catalyst for other, new shows.ÌýÌý

"I do thinkÌýitÌý[Clarkson's Farm]Ìýhas been a big positive for the industry in communicating the challenges to the public, but how long lasting that legacy will be is hard to call."ÌýÌý
