I saw a photo of the check that a farmer in my area received to destroy his livestock (egg business, pork business). A friend who works for the farmer witnessed the destruction of thousands of layer chickens in one long afternoon. Representative from the government was present to witness the event and the check was handed over to the farmer that same day. The hogs were scheduled for destruction the next day. Just like this video said, the check was for 1.5 times the value of the business lost.
