I have to agree with David on this one. It is the farmers land so therefore he can do whatever he wants unless it was specifically stated in the contract. Since the cattle were on the land and had to be tended daily,I'm assuming that he never intended to give you sole rights to the land. Think of it kind of as a guided hunt, except without the guide of course. Some of these hunts cost $1500 for a fews days. You're not gonna go in there and tell the guide or landowner that he can't let anyone else hunt for those few days because you paid are you? I will agree with you as far as being on the land too often. That to me is ridiculous. If I paid to hunt the land I would be on it as often as I would like. After all that is what you paid for. As far as the rut in the field is concerned I kind of agree with you and the farmer. I know it wasn't intentional but I think I'd be pissed off to with someone rutting up my fields. You should have offered to fix it. Fill in the dirt,sew some seed, no harm done. Just my opinion.
