In the farmer's shoes, I would try to get my address and actual business high up in search rankings so that anybody who is checking out the fake business stands a chance of seeing who they really are e.g. get themselves a Google listing and include the fact that they don't sell farm machinery, put a listing on Yell and any other directories and ratings sites, maybe even set up a website of their own - it only needs to be basic with a warning about the scam.  

Don't really understand, sorry - it's a dairy farm, he sells milk to Mr Muller, that's all really, no need for a website

He wants to let people know he is not the scammer.  It would be ridiculously simple to set up a page saying just, "Looking for SCAMMER NAME?  Don't fall for it.  They're a scammer using my address and VAT number to con you.  My farm is ADDRESS; I sell milk to Mr Muller.  I do not sell X, Y, Z.  If you've been conned, contact the Police.  

Then when people are checking the other website is genuine, they will hopefully see that and be warned off.  It's not about selling milk!

Seems like asking for trouble to me.  I would put up with a few callers at the door rather than going toe to toe with scammers on the internet unless you know exactly what you are doing.
