The body of father-of-four Andrew Riddell, 52, was discovered after he had harvested his final crop.
Tributes have been paid to the man friends and politicians said lived for his farm and family.
In March, after a year-long deliberation, the Court of Session released a ruling enforcing a notice to quit on Mr Riddell, who was in a specific type of "limited partnership" lease.
