When you put it that way, i disagree. A gift is a gift. Once you give it to someone its their's to do with as they please. A gift with strings is not a gift.
This story is different though, the farmer sold the land for cheap in exchange for some conditions. This situation is more like going back on a contract.
Sure, a gift if a gift, but if I give you a gift and then you go off and sell it for $10mil you're a terrible friend.
