Feral pig podcast for North West Local Land Services: Is there an economic benefit to controlling feral pigs?
How much damage are feral pigs doing to your hip pocket? And what's the most cost-effective control method?
It's no secret feral pigs are a concern for farmers and graziers. So in 2020, Ag Econ started investigating the economic impact of feral pigs on crops and stock as well as the economic benefit of feral pig control. The study focused on nine key agricultural enterprises in North West NSW, considering five different control methods and found the net benefit of control could be up to $100/ ha. In this episode, you'll hear from farmers about their general experiences with feral pigs and then from Ag Econ economists and North West farmers Jon Welsh and Janine Powell about their feral pig findings from a North West Local Land Services study.
