I don't know the story, maybe the farmers were real pieces of work and tried to rent the OPs (original poster's) ground away but it Doesn't look like a BTO to me by any means... I am a part of a family farm, we have a similar line of equipment (size wise) and I don't consider us big farmers by any means. We are trying to rent more ground as I am trying to pick up some acreage.... glad to know that guys like the OP will love to see family operations go down.......
