Kaleb Cooper has made a bet with his boss in new season of the hit Amazon Prime Video show Clarkson's Farm and it's set to last for an entire year.
Kaleb has been the breakout star of Clarkson's Farm since it first aired in the Covid pandemic.

Still only 25, he's guided Jezza following his 2019 decision to run a 1,000-acre farm in the Cotswolds following the retirement of its farmer.
And with the third season of Clarkson's Farm airing on Prime Video on Friday, 3 May, the two are at it again as Cooper offers sage advice to Jeremy's rather eccentric ideas.
The first episode of the new series shows Clarkson as he immediately responds to West Oxfordshire District Council shutting down his Diddly Squat Farm restaurant following its successful opening in the finale of season two.

And with costs shooting up for the farm due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, Clarkson is left in a desperate spot trying to think of new ways to diversify the farm's income.
After realising half of his 1,000-acre plot is full of wild produce that could be harvested and sold, he immediately changes Kaleb's job on the farm.
"I've got something serious to say to you. I've made a big decision," Clarkson tells Kaleb.

"You are no longer the tractor driver on this farm. I've decided I'm going to make you farm manager. I want you to run the farming side of it."
Immediately, Kaleb jokes to Jezza: "You're fired."
But responding, Clarkson says: "I'm not fired because you've not heard how this is going to work.
"I've got to concentrate making money out of the bit of farm that isn't farmed. "That means I'm not going to have the time to focus on the [arable] so I'm putting you on the arable."

The decision immediately turns in to making it a competition.
"I've just had a thought," Clarkson says. "Why don't we make it a competition? Who in the next 12 months can make the most money; me out of un-farmed land and you out of farmed land?
"We'll get a white board, put it on the wall and it'll be Jeremy's profits and costs and Kaleb's profits and costs. I think that will be quite good fun."

Responding, Kaleb says: "I think it'll be good fun and I'm going to win."
Replying, Jeremy says: "You're not going to win now get out, get on your tractor, and go and manage the farm."
Things come to blows quite soon, with Jeremy moving one of Kaleb's grain wagons so he can get a HGV carrying a blackberry picker on to the farm - all while Kaleb is part way through loading it. Let the chaos commence.
