Late last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced $35 million available in partnerships for a newly launched pilot program called the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program. It is part of a broader $105 million initiative to continue eradication efforts around feral swine.

Funding for these services will be provided through grant agreements between partners and (Natural Resources Conservation Service).”
