My wife and I have owned a farm in Minnesota for over 50 years. We live in Tucson some 2,000 miles away. The neighboring landowners have always been cordial, quiet and peaceful. Recently, a neighbor has declared strong interest in acquiring our farm. He says a third neighbor is "threatening," and because we spend six months per year in Arizona, he wants to "protect" our farm from the hostile neighbor. We know there are valuable minerals under the soil on our farm. We have told the first neighbor that our farm is not for sale, but he is persistent. He says acquisition of our farm is vital for the security of the neighborhood and he will protect it. Since we refuse to sell our farm to him, he says he is just going to take it over by force if necessary. What should we do?
