The commissioner, with the concurrence of the corporation, is authorized to destroy, or cause to be treated with pesticides, volunteer or other noncommercial cotton and to establish procedures for the purchase and destruction of commercial cotton in eradication zones when the commissioner deems the action necessary to effectuate the purposes of this chapter. No payment shall be made by the commissioner to the owner or lessee for the destruction or injury of any cotton that was planted in an eradication zone after publication of notice as provided in this chapter, or was otherwise handled in violation of this chapter or the regulations adopted under this chapter. However, the commissioner shall pay for losses resulting from the destruction of cotton that was planted in those zones before promulgation of the notice. Payments for those losses shall be funded by assessment fees paid by cotton growers and administered by the corporation.
