Take a day or 2 to collect your thoughts - you don't want to make this a retailation for something else.
Renting out land is a business, and folks do business. Your 'offfer' to rent the land for 5 years for the same price would be laughed at - land rent has nearly doubled in the past 12 months.
Easements are a funny thing, and govt types tend to judge for whatever causes them the least problems, not always what is just & fair. Look at the thread below on Judges.... There may be an exsisting unwritten easement; and the right buddies might decide putting in another road will cost the township/county too much money so as long as your field road is there, go ahead & use that. I'm not saying that would be 'right', but it can and has happened.
Raising holy caine with the neighbor can come back on a person over the next 30 years.... Be careful on burning bridges. Do your business your way, but try to be calm, and matter of fact, and don't look like you are blackmailing or trying to get even. If you will & can block access, do so, but do not tie it into renting the land or not. That only raises the territiorial feelings of human beings. You would basically be issuing a threat to the neighbor - rent to me or else!
Think this through a few days, and be very business like & matter of fact, and do what you will do. Straight out.
Your next 30 years hinge on how this all works out.
Again, I understand how you feel, and if it were me I'd feel exactly as you do. But, you want to end up with good results, not just be able to vent for a couple days & then have years of issues.
On all the farm boards, there is talk of spoken rental deals being forgotten about this year. It sucks, but that is how it goes. Rent is up - way up - and you might not have done much with a small offer of matching the old rent....
Allow or don't allow access to the other property across yours, but just leave that all by itself. Don't even bring up the land or rent. The neighbor can draw his own conclusions, and that appears to be done & gone now. Keep the upper path. Don't make anthing look like it is spite.
Someday it will come up for rent again, and you may or may not be in the running for it depending on how you handle this.
If I owned the land, and you said people can't drive to it because I want to rent it for last year's rental price, _I_ would look at that as blackmail.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
