Reason why qualified theft will fail if agrarian dispute or tenancy is established between the parties

Dear PAO,

I had an arrangement with Lino that I will till his land and the harvest will be divided between us. This has been our setup for a decade until we had a dispute pertaining to the division of the harvest, which eventually led to his demand for me to vacate the property. When I did not heed his desire, he threatened to file a criminal case for qualified theft against me when I harvested the agricultural products from the land. One official of our barangay told me not to worry because the case will not prosper. According to him, we have an agrarian dispute as there exists a tenancy relationship between me and Lino. Assuming my concern is an agrarian or tenancy dispute, may I know the reason why the qualified theft will not prosper?
