Unions fight to save estate at heart of Powys farm community
The Guardian
|August 11, 2025
Farmers and agricultural unions are fighting to save a large farming estate owned by Powys council amid sell-off plans that tenants say will affect the rural Welsh-speaking community by taking away a crucial stepping stone for young farmers.
A total of 19 tenants living and working on 130 smallholdings, or about 15%, have been served with notices to quit since the local authority began sending eviction letters in February. The Guardian understands at least one was in arrears.
According to the Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) the Powys farms estate - the largest of its kind in Wales, and the fifth-largest in the UK - is important for young farmers and those new to the industry, who often initially cannot afford to buy land; only 3% of "head of holding" farmers are under the age of 35. The local authority has sold about 30 farms since 2011.
