Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper says he pays himself '50p an hour'

Clarkson Farm's Kaleb Cooper has opened up about the hardships of farming - and he said he pays himself as little as just 50p an hour.

The farmer, 24, who has become a hit on the Amazon Prime show for his impressive farming skills and no-nonsense approach to Jeremy's wacky agricultural ideas, recently branched out on his own by purchasing eight calves.

Speaking to the Performance People podcast, Kaleb, who runs a contracting business, revealed it has always been his dream to own and run his own farm. He said: "When I'm working for myself, when I'm feeding my calves, I bought eight calves, it's a little bit of a new business idea that I'm doing. And then you feed them on milk - which costs me about £200 a calf - and then selling them at nine months, trying to get a profit, trying to see if it will work you know."
