David, I like your approach the best. Even though the transactions are
in a joint account between my son and father, I am legally responsible
for my sons activities. And all of the transactions apply to my farm,

Again, I am asking you to be specific/confirm so that we can give you
best advice.
"And all of the transactions apply to my farm, not Dads" ----- are you
saying that all transactions to THIS bank account are fro your farm (the
only exceptions being perhaps your father putting money into it)? The
"ownership" of the account (being joint) is NOT necessarily part of the
problem). And in your father's gnucash books, this is a separate account
(for THIS bank account). Because in that case there is no separation
problem, no identifying of the individual transaction.
Your request would then be "how do I get an account and all its
associated transactions transactions from one set of books to another"?
In this case like an export/import with delete behind. But SOME of the
transactions would have to change. Namely, the debits << because they
were probably transfers between one of your father's bank accounts and
this one but now the debit will be an income account "gifts from Dad" <<
and whether reportable will depend on the annual total >>

NOTE: You would NOT have to edit the export/import file to make the
debit change. Use the trick of temporarily "lying" to the computer by
temporarily creating an account under assets for you Dad's other bank <<
just like it is in his books >> and then afterwards you will rename it
and reparent it.
PS -- Know how you feel -- back in younger days, one of Penny's does
decided to give birth outside of the goat house when it was below zero
and we had three frostbitten kids to deal with in a playpen set up in
the kitchen. Luckily no problem getting the to take the bottle.
