“IT’S TIME FOR ME TO GO” – Reuben Owen of Yorkshire Farm Opens Up About Leaving the Farm Alongside a Never-Before-Revealed Secret

Our Yorkshire Farm star Reuben Owen has opened up about his future on TV as he admitted he doesn’t want a career in the industry and doesn’t have time for social media

Our Yorkshire Farm’s Reuben Owen has cast his gaze towards the future, revealing that a career in television isn’t quite his cup of tea. The young star gained recognition alongside his family on the Channel 4 hit series.

Post-show, Reuben has ventured solo with his own Channel 5 series, Life in the Dales. The recently concluded second series follows him and his mates as he aims to expand his machinery business.

Additionally, Reuben features in Our Farm Next Door with his family, where they breathe new life into a dilapidated farmhouse known as Anty John’s.

Yet, speaking to the Telegraph, Reuben shared insights into his aspirations beyond the small screen

While he enjoys sharing his rural life with viewers, he also expressed a desire to be recognised for his work off-screen, stating, “I want to be known as the guy who digs holes.”

He remarked, “I don’t have the time or the inclination to scroll through social media,” reports the Express.

“If you do ever see me on my phone, I’ll be searching for machinery sales.”

Further elaborating on his ambitions, he said: “I don’t want a career on television, I want to be known as the guy who digs big holes; my current ambition is to buy a 50-ton excavator. Now that really would be the realisation of a dream.”

In the closing moments of Life in the Dales, Reuben hinted at a potential departure from his family’s abode at Ravenseat Farm.

He revealed: “It’s been a hectic time. Three years in business, I’m 21 now. We’ve got plenty of diggers, plenty of work on, couple of bunch of team and staff on with me, got Jess [his girlfriend] with me, who’s an absolute star.

“Think the next thing we need to think about is getting somewhere a bit better to keep all these machines, and hopefully somewhere for me to live as well.

“That’s the dream next. Get myself a yard and a house. We’ll have to see what the future holds,” he concluded.
