The North Central Ozarks Feral Swine Project, a cooperative program between the conservation districts of Baxter, Izard and Marion counties, can assist area landowners in the trapping of feral hogs.
This feral hog program was funded by the federal government in the 2018 Farm Bill as a way for states to establish new means of attempting to control local feral hog populations. Feral hogs can cause major property damage as well as carry several diseases that can be constracted by both humans and livestock.
