GIS might differ depending on where you are at location wise. Some of the maps haven't been updated in years around here.

This one still bugs me.
Here is the feild from the other end. Neighbor that crowds on left, there is a CRP strip that is on two sides of the other property that goes around my woods...the Little Woods is the far one in background.
Property line is on corner of woods in foreground, there is a marker stake and pin on it from being surveyed a couple years ago when he bought it. As you can see he farms 10'-12' feet into the CRP strip that he does not own. I now lease hunting rights to all the ground on the right.
I've seen farmers crowd property lines before but never as blatant as this guy. He does the same thing on a 60 acre piece he rents across the road.
I guess I should be glad he only crosses over on me up front 6’-8’?
But it is literally my front yard!

Put a fence up... after he plants his next crop.

A simple fence line with single strand will work, as I had to do this on one spot that looks a lot like your property. The farmer who plants our soy/corn rotation frequently goes over the line one to six feet in certain areas due to topography. Fortunately, our neighbor appreciates the nutritional support the crops give the local deer herd, so he does not mind. If he did, we would never encroach on his land. Some T-Posts and wire could be an easy solution. If done “after” planting, so be it, it is your land, which is something most farmers will respect.

Or... send him a bill for the cost of replanting the CRP that he took out.
Of course I wouldn't do either of my suggestions first. Only after we'd had a face to face talk about what happened and the plan going forward would I resort to other methods.

You'll need to mark the line , a few fence posts would do the trick.
You shouldn't have to do that , I'm sure he's got gps in his equipment. It is what it is at this point.

Bought a new 2 ac adjoining my out of state place...it displaced my biggest problem neighbor. 3 police reports, some DNR and Sheriff trespass citations, a cut horse fence. loose horses and some threats on who could use my private road to access their house.....and things have calmed down for this week. lol. Neighbors suck, especially those that are of working age and dont do enough of that....
Lets just say great deal, and worth every penny of that great deal.

I over paid for a neighboring 80 that was a mess with trucks riding all over it all times of the day during rifle season.
10+ years later it's worth twice what I paid and no more trucks..

You bought from them, or you bought the property and will be kicking them out as renters?
Worse! I bought it basically for back taxes because the rightful owner didn't come around due to this/ours other neighbor being a bullying idiot. Thats why he text the idiots just to jerk their chain when we made a deal. The idiots never gave him a nickel or a thank you- yet pastured their horses there and used it to hunt mine. When I walked it with the owner, he noted how the idiot severed the electric riser with the bucket of a tractor and then shot the hell out of the meter channel just to set the tone on king of the hill. I just added a few road signs they need to see on the daily just keep saying checkmate in the big boss chess game.
The idiot horse family just commandeered it, as they tried to do with a chunk of my other parcels (to which which he argued both were rightfully theirs, despite my survey saying otherwise, and believe me in saying nether would even be a consideration per a survey shape if you saw them), and as they do with an out of town neighbor and another that lives below us.
His horses are literally penned in his front yard - and 7 of them spent 2 +days on my place eating kernel corn, missing from their yard without them knowing. Thats the kind of people they are.
For so many reasons, this places was worth multiple times what was paid just to push them back. Congrats for winning your battle as well Bill

For many years, I leased rowcrop ground out to a neighboring farmer. He was (and is) one of the ilk to plant every last inch, to the point of encroaching on public roads. He encroached on some of my CRP ground, "stealing" about three feet more each year. Eventually. the USDA discovered this in their review of aerial images, and dinged me for something like $975 and ordered me to cease and desist cropping on that subject ground. I paid it and made the farmer reimburse me if he wanted to continue to farm my ground. They could do the same in the encroachment you cited.
About five years later, I had an incident with the same farmer violating my prohibition on fall chisel plowing of my ground. Good news, good news - this happened right at the time of a CRP general signup, I threw the farmer out, and now have 40a. of native grasses, forbs, food plots, enhanced wetlands, and am pocketing significantly more in CRP than I was in rowcrop rental.

I had a similar issue. A giant farmer use to farm my ground. He was farming it before I bought it. Got caught chiseling away a CRP tree planting a little at a time. When FSA caught it, he had taked about 20 yards, the entire length of the field. Instead of paying it back, I asked to initiate the 10% wild life food plot clause for the program I was in. The county FSA board agreed. I made the farmer leave the crop, standing corn, as a food plot. I had a 20 yd patch of corn, about 800 yards long. Following years I drilled my own plots on the piece until my CRP contract expired. Now I rent to the new farmer.
