We had a somewhat similar situation with neighbors behind our place. We are not farmers, the land in this area was divided into 5, 10, and 15 acre tracts about 50 years ago. My dad and I bought 10 acres at the time. There were easements on the front and the back for roads and alleys. The back side had a 15 foot easement to be taken off along with the same amount for the neighbor. Thinking ahead, we put a wire fence 15 feet inside the survey marks and fully expected there to be a turnrow or some sort of roadway there. The people who bought the other place didn't do anything. Later, they started planting ground cover and other stuff right up to our fence, 15 feet onto our property. The road plans never happened. So, after several times where a tractor caught part of our fence and tore it down we decided to fence the property line. One original survey stake was still visible (really amazing) and we lined up with it along with measuring the 15 feet from our fence.
That set off a war with the neighbor. After calling the sheriff on us, and other soap opera like events, we eventually agreed to re survey the property, the party who was wrong would pay the cost. It was done, we were right, and the other party wouldn't pay. I put up Tee posts and horse wire with crosstie corners, that side is about 600 feet long. I still have to replace a tee post from time to time, as they drive equipment right up to the line. We are good neighbors in the respect they don't talk to us and we don't talk to them.
The comment about apparent property lines was well taken. In Texas, I think unclaimed property being used by another, as in a crop being planted for years in the same place over the line, can be claimed somehow. It's kinda extreme though. One has to present evidence of abandonment of the property. I would think the act of paying taxes on it would be enough to settle that.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
