I have a 6 year old cat that I've had since she was a little kitten. We live on a farm and brought in 2 kittens to tame and socialize and eventually give away to families. But now while this is going on, the mature cat is peeing on my chair or any other piece of furniture while we are at work or even right in front of my wife. We think she is mad because of the little ones; is she? How can we get her to stop?

She isn't specifically mad. She's just doing what cats do, which is marking her territory. She is the older, dominant female and now two new ones are in her territory acting like they own the place. And you act like that's normal but she knows it's not.
You could try keeping the kittens in a separate room that your older cat has no access to. It would be better, though, to take them back outside and socialize them with multiple trips out to where they live. Find a safe place in a shed or barn to make them cosy and feed and play with them a few times a day.
When she was six months old, we adopted sweet Becky, from a cat rescue sanctuary, she came here scared for awhile of the everything but my arms when I was holding her. Then starting a year later she seemed to be marking her territory. Since I have birds on bird feeders and butterflies in my Monarch WayStation I tie her on leases out side to protect them from her hunting instincts.
