Budget cuts may unleash feral hogs in Kansas farms
The Wilson family in Bourbon County faces mounting losses as state budget reductions threaten funding for wild hog control. With 75 years of farming challenges behind them, Mike Wilson cites a 10 acre loss worth about $6,000. Kansas leaders worry reduced support could leave the USDA trapping and helicopter program underfunded, risking further agricultural damage and disease spread. Kansas has reduced its hog population from about 2,000 to 500, while Missouri and Texas still contend with larger counts.
