Dad got a nervous condition about 1964 that effected his ability to swallow food and keep it down called achalasia, local quack doctor had him on tranquilizers that just made him want to sleep all day. Not sure which neighbor it was that went to his land-lady about renting the farm out from under him but I hope the SOB went broke and starved to death. Land-lady never said who it was, just confronted Dad and asked, "You able to farm this place or should I rent it to someone else?" Dad had rented the place for 12-13 years at that time, prior tenants only lasted a year or two at most. Mom found the name of a different Doctor at University Hospital in Chicago that treated the condition, wrote him a letter, week later Dad got called, Doctor had a bed waiting for him, Dad had neighbor run him the 175 miles to hospital. When Dad came home 5-6 days later he could eat, no tranquilizers. Dad farmed the place 8 more years till the heirs sold it to settle the land-lady's estate. Farm sold at auction, Dad had absolutely NO desire to buy the place. So having neighbors, even family try to get ground away from other farmers is nothing new, happened 50 years ago, happened 100 and 200 years ago too.
