Diddly Squat: ‘Til The Cows Come Home (2)

Life on the farm continues. Great read

Fun easy read!

I’m only a quarter of the way through this book. I was enjoying it immensely until I got to the chapter about liking animals. Fifty years ago, I read about the horrific treatment of calves and I’ve eaten veal once since then - without my knowledge. I’ve started throwing away unopened the solicitations from PETA because if I open them, I’ll be upset all day. As I said, I was enjoying the book until I wasn’t. So I skipped the rest of that chapter and settled down until the chapter on pheasants. That’s when I practically threw my hands up in the air and stopped reading. Perhaps some warning would be helpful. I’m almost dreading what I’ll come upon next. I enjoyed the first Diddly Squat book very much and I’ve watched the two seasons on Amazon Prime Video. I suppose I’ll have to become a vegetarian.

What a great book! Very well written. Who knew writing about the farm so much more to experience!

Fun read. Will be buying the others in the series.

So funny what a fabulous read

Love these books. Jeremy is so much fun to read about. Great Books!

I'm familiar w/Clarkson from his T G program, and think he's a good fit to be a farmer. I grew up on a farm, and learned early on, if the crops were good, the farmer complained the glut of a big crop and prices would fall and they'd have a bad year. If crops/animals were doing poorly, the complaint again of how hard the year would be. Rare indeed when farming was profitable w/o complaints and all was good. Clarkson fits the M.O perfectly. Love the sketches on chapter headings, and woke my wife up laughing at the drawing of him AFTER a cow met his crotch. Also, his anecdotes about regulators, and environmental city folks and the vagaries of how to make a buck with down on the farm lifestyles.

Im typisch Stil von Clarkson mal wieder brilliant erzählt. Leseempfehlung

Accident prone and completely unqualified in agriculture, Jeremy is nevertheless determined to succeed - if only the bureaucrats would use some logical thinking. Laugh out loud reading at times and frustration over official interference at others. Great fun but also thought-provoking.

Good.
