The third party (reseller) who bought the seed from Monsanto in the first place most probably breached the contract by producing and selling new seeds! This third party is probably the one who is to be sued, but patent law allows the farmer to be sued as well..

The can also only be sued once, where the farmer and everyone after that point could continue to resell dwecendents of that line.
