Recently I have had to deal with a nasty "All farm-able Land Belongs to us!" type farm family that has lived here for generations that seems to think that I desecrated his farmland that they used to work by putting a pond and grass on it. Never mind someone sold it 50 years ago, and the land has since been worked to death.

I completely feel you on that one Mark. My brother and I bought a piece down in southern Virginia about ten years ago. The neighbors heard that we were from New Jersey and they just about blew their stack.
When we first got down there, there were people pissy about us putting up fence. Some clowns turned a couple of cow calf pairs we had loose. The sheriff was no help.
So, you do what you have to do sometimes. This was before camera phones were in everyone's pocket. So, we went around to every neighbor within 20 miles. We took pictures of marijuana fields, whiskey stills, "massage parlors", and other things and you know that we haven't had a lick of trouble since. LOL.
Now we rent the whole piece to a fella that grows hay. He lives in the doublewide that we put on and all I can say is thank god for agent orange, because having a vietnam vet that's brain is half kicked in the ass is a sure fire way to keep people off your land LOL.
I really do wish everyone the best of luck when they move. My neck is redder than most, but some rural areas ain't kind on anyone new moving in. Its like they're afraid that we're gonna put some branches on their family trees LOL.
