Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would create a new federal program under the Food Security Act of 1985 to aggressively address feral swine damage. The Secretary of Agriculture would establish a Feral Swine Eradication and Control Program to study the impacts of feral swine, develop and implement eradication or control methods, restore areas damaged by feral swine, and provide financial assistance to agricultural producers in targeted areas. The program would be carried out through coordination between the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), with involvement from land-grant colleges and universities to conduct research, provide outreach, and assist in implementation. The bill requires funding (mandatorily) and sets parameters for cost-sharing, administration, and program scope, and would repeal a related provision from a 2018 farm bill. In short, the bill envisions a nationwide, federally funded response to feral swine threats, combining on-the-ground eradication or control efforts with research, restoration, and producer assistance, anchored by partnerships with land-grant institutions and state technical coordination.
