Clive confessed: "I am going to be a bit nervous, but I am alright with it, I'll do exactly what they tell me, and the next thing you wake up and it's done.

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."

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.

Miles reflected on his father Clive Owen's gradual withdrawal from active farming duties, noting the increased need for his own participation at home, reports Devon Live. He detailed his farm responsibilities, "I really enjoyed growing up on the farm. One of my jobs was doing the chickens, collecting the eggs, looking after them, and feeding them. I'm doing more work with the cows and the sheep at the moment," as reported by Gloucestershire Live. Discussing his career objectives, Miles said, "I've talked to Reuben about the digging side and me helping more, getting more involved with his company, which I wouldn't mind at all." Still, he stressed the importance of balance: "But, I've got to balance it, because dad's getting on and he's slowing down a bit." Further illustrating his commitment, he added, "So, I've got to help dad when it's needed and I can't leave him to manage. Then, when Reuben needs it and he gets stuck, I need to go and help him." In a previous episode of Our Farm Next Door, Clive also spoke candidly about stepping back to let his sons take the reins. Acknowledging the march of time, he admitted that age had taken its toll. "The kids grow up and become men. I am getting older, and I am not as strong as I used to be so yeah, it is good that these young guys take over," he expressed with a hint of resignation. Embracing the inevitable transition, Clive said, "It's time to pass on the baton and let them do more and more, and that is how it is." He added with a touch of humour, "I am here to watch over them and annoy them, and we will get there in the end."

Shortly after, she confessed: "They run me ragged. They drive me mad." Then, she quipped: "I haven't got anything to complain about. Well, I have, obviously, Clive for a start... Yeah you can tell Lorraine we're in perfect f***ing harmony." Following her candid remark, the camera cut to Clive in the background, operating a tractor. Amanda shared: "I complain about him.
