Extremists, including close associates of Tommy Robinson, have been using social media to urge supporters to turn up at the protest in London tomorrow, just as farming leaders sought to remind those attending of their responsibilities.
The event is being seen as a major opportunity for exploitation by the far right, who are seeking to promote Jeremy Clarkson as a hero after he claimed the UK government had a "sinister plan" to "ethnically cleanse" farming communities.
The former presenter has become a meme on far-right social media accounts as activists applauded his comments. Nick Griffin, the former leader of the British National party, posted a picture of himself in the broadcaster's Oxfordshire pub. "Jeremy Clarkson nails it," said Griffin, as he shared Clarkson's comments.
Paul Thorpe, a far-right YouTuber, published a video message urging his followers to join the protest, stating: "I'll be there to support our farming community and I hope as many of you patriots will be there too."
