[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1274440, member: 30902"] The USDA spends millions on research because of the transmissibility of parasites and both bacterial and viral diseases from feral to domestic populations as well as providing information to farmers on control methods and strategies but that's a far cry from reimbursing them for crop damage due to feral hogs. As far as I know they still aren't dishing out any dollars to ranchers for damages. Even in the hayday of the peanut program they weren't paying peanut farmers for damages so poor college students like me who were lucky enough to live in peanut country occasionally got hired by peanut farmers to help control them by acting as "night guards" on the peanut fields. We did the same for the melon farmers in the area during the summer. When I was younger and living up in the Panhandle the watermelon farmers begged us to come in at night and shoot coyotes off of their melon patches because they would destroy them. No wonder we never got into trouble, I mean heck when teenagers could run around at night with spotlights and guns who needed to go to town and get into trouble? [/QUOTE]
