Cheshire dairy farmer听Kelly Seaton says if the show ends it will be a sad day for the industry as听it 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.听
"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 farmers听truly听care听about听the work we do.听听
"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.听听
"I am sure this听will not听be 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.听听
"So,听if听this is the end, that leaves me to say on behalf of all farmers, thank you Jeremy,听what you have done has been amazing for the industry."听听
Mr Clarkson told the Sunday times听that the team will be taking a break after filming season five and this will听probably be听the last unless he finds a good enough reason for doing another season.听听

"I think farming听was covered dreadfully on TV before, so it may be a catalyst for other, new shows.听听
"I do think听it听[Clarkson's Farm]听has 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."听听
