Above is a screenshot of the point feature boundaries for a farm, tried to create a line feature from the points, but the central line is a boundary being shared by the two adjacent farms. How do l ensure that the attributes joined are unique for each farm since they only share a boundary with same location but different attributes such as farmID and farmName.

Check if Creating Thiessen Polygons fulfills your requirement.

There are several methods to produce polygons from points.  It may be that one may be more appropriate for what you are after than another.

Points to Line

Feature to Polygon

Aggregate Points

Points to Regular Polygons (ET Geowizards)

How To: Convert a point feature class to a polygon feature class 

One caveat, though, is that some of the methods require an advanced license and in one case the tool is part of a 3rd party software (ET GeoWizards).
