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

Following the conclusion of Our Yorkshire Farm, Reuben has ventured into his own pursuits with the Channel 5 show, Life in the Dales. The recently concluded second series of the programme follows Reuben and his mates as he aims to expand his machinery enterprise.

Additionally, Reuben features in another programme with his kin, Our Farm Next Door, where the Owens are seen doing up a dilapidated farmhouse known as Anty John’s.

Yet, in a candid chat with the Telegraph, Reuben divulged his aspirations beyond the small screen.

Although he enjoys sharing his daily life with viewers, Reuben also expressed his desire to be recognised “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.”

He further stated: “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, the youthful farmer, residing at Ravenseat Farm with his family, hinted at a potential departure.

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 added.
