When a unwilling farmer is killed his son is devasted, but when a unsanctioned genetic bug is unleashed he will have till the next crop to find a cure.

You need to work on your wording here, because you didn't state your intended meaning correctly.

My thoughts exactly. Aren't we all unwilling to be killed.

A BBC (Big Bad Corporation) trying to control the market, yes--that's believable. Their stake is obvious. But a BBG (Big Bad Government) -- not so much. What's the BBG stake that they would meddle in how one farmer plants (or doesn't plant) his fields?
