Modelling question

I have several dozen field experiments for which I'm fitting the model:

yield ~ genotype (fixed) + y (random) + ar1(x):ar1(y)

where x,y indicate field coordinates.

When I make a scatterplot ( across all experiments) of the residual variance versus the variance component for y, I notice a striking pattern--either the residual variance is large and the variance component of y is small, or the opposite happens.does this suggest the model has too many terms and is trying to over fit the data?
