Most leases and state law protect the lessee in cases like this from losing the value of a crop without adequate notice. It's likely that you may be able to recoup your costs and anticipated profit on that wheat crop simply by asking the question of her "what about my wheat crop?". If she doesn't have an adequate answer, then ask the same question of the real estate agency. You can bet that the development company and any involved realtor is aware of that wheat crop and has penciled that in as a liability that may need addressed. Unless the development company is ready to dig right now, then my guess is that you'll be allowed access to the crop. Otherwise I think they'll have a cash settlement ready to discuss. In any case, they likely would hope you just walk away and leave your money on someone's table. Just ask for your right to get to your crop or be remunerated for your loss. And if they grant you access to your crop, then ask them about replacing this summers crop.
