I didn't reply to that, and when the other farmer was done harvesting the trees, I hired HER to plow.
Well the first guy was offended at that. ( I was surprised that he stuck around) He said I was being rude, and that since he asked first to plow, he should have been given the job! I was just dumbfounded. I know there aren't actual rules governing this. But since he refused to do the trees, I felt I didn't HAVE to hire him to plow.

That guy sounds like an idiot. I would have done the same as you did. Hired the other person to plow and paid no attention to him. I am running into more and more people who think that since we hired them to harvest that they are entitled to plow too.
