A farmer who rented his land from a mid Wales council said his "world ended" when he received a letter telling him he had six weeks to vacate the property.
The Powys county farms estate is the largest estate of its kind in Wales, and the fifth largest in the UK, but the local authority has served 19 tenants with notices to quit and sold multiple farms this year.
Farmers and agricultural unions said they were concerned about the impact it could have on the ability of new farmers, who cannot afford to buy, to join the industry.
Powys council said it was "reviewing and streamlining" its properties and any income from sales would be "reinvested" into its projects to improve the county.
