He was in collusion with other farmers that were giving him seed they and he knew couldn't legally be reused.

Nobody "set him up". He's a crook and he was undoubtedly involving his father who undoubtedly was too old to know his son was a crook. If anyone put his father in the grave it was him. Now he's simply participating with filmmakers to make a duplicitous film filled with non-facts, misrepresentations, and fallacious appeals to emotion.
