Analyzed Economic Effects

New feral swine program for producers
If enacted, the Agriculture Secretary would set up a feral swine eradication and control program. The program would study damage in Secretary-designated "threatened areas," develop control methods, and plan land restoration. It would provide technical help and financial assistance to agricultural producers in those threatened areas. The bill would reserve $150,000,000 for the program for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Forty percent of that money would go to NRCS and 60 percent to APHIS. No more than 10% of funds could pay administrative costs. The federal share of project costs would be limited to 75%, and non-Federal shares could be in-kind. The Secretary would direct NRCS and APHIS to contract with land-grant colleges or universities that track swine damage, work closely with APHIS Wildlife Services, and maintain a State-funded Wildlife Services program with a cooperative agreement.
Repeal of 2018 feral swine provision
The bill would repeal Section 2408 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. The bill text does not describe what Section 2408 did. The concrete effects for producers or households are not specified here and would depend on the old section's content.
