AITA for banning my daughter from the farm after she listed it for sale behind my back?

i'm 61, widow, i run 40 acres and 14 hives alone since my husband died three years ago. my daughter rachel (34f) has been on me for a year about how i shouldn't be out here by myself, especially after i broke my wrist last spring pulling supers. last tuesday a realtor called asking to confirm a walkthrough time for saturday. i said walkthrough for what. turns out rachel listed the farm on one of those we buy land sites two weeks ago, my name and everything, got a cash offer for 340. she never said one word to me. i called her and she said she did it quiet on purpose because she knew i'd say no before even hearing the number, and that she's scared she's going to get a call one day that i'm face down in the barn. i get that fear. but this land is what her father and i built for 22 years, i still put his ashes under the old oak by the hives. i told her to cancel the walkthrough and not to set foot on my property till she can respect that it's still mine to decide. she's telling her brother i'm being dramatic and that she was trying to protect me. grandkids are asking why grandma's mad now. i haven't called her back.
