Creates a permanent program to fight feral swine, protecting farms and nature.
This bill would create a permanent program to control feral swine, which are wild pigs that harm farms, natural areas, and health. It would set aside $150 million over five years to help farmers and agencies fight these animals. This replaces an older, temporary pilot program with a long-term plan.
Currently, a temporary Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program exists, run by the Secretary of Agriculture. This bill would replace that pilot program with a new, permanent Feral Swine Eradication and Control Program. It would set aside $150,000,000 over five years (the government's budget years 2026-2030) to fund these efforts, with 40 percent going to the Natural Resources Conservation Service and 60 percent to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
