"he is trying to get a workman's comp settlement from his full time employer" He sounds like a professional freeloader to me. I wouldn't give a second thought about compensating him for the lime; he probably hasn't paid for that, either. You might even get a bill from his fertilizer supplier.
Unfortunately, with only a couple of weeks before harvest, you don't have enough time to act. In hindsight, you should have sent him an eviction notice back in February or March, which would have given you three months for the case to wind through the court. Most likely he would have showed up for his first court appearance with a rent check in hand. If he had been evicted, you would be within your rights to harvest his wheat and keep whatever proceeds you thought he owed you. Now there's no legal way for you to stop him from harvesting.
Having leased out cropland, I'm really surprised to hear of a renter stiffing his landlord in advance of the crop. Maybe if the rent is split (as mine is) between April and December a tenant might fail to make the December rent, but it's never happened to me.

Once he hauls his crop out of your field, it may be pretty difficult to stop him from selling it and pocketing the proceeds.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
