The original poster (OP) is experiencing significant conflict between protecting their inherited property and maintaining a friendship.
While the OP initially felt guilt for declining their friend Emma's request, they firmly believe the proposed large-scale wedding, complete with significant structural changes to the farm, imposes an unreasonable burden and threat to their home and lifestyle.
