USDA Funds Fight Against Feral Pigs | Honolulu News

Feral pigs are wreaking havoc across U.S. farmland, costing billions annually—and now, the USDA is throwing down $35 million to help states like Hawaii tackle the crisis. Part of a $105 million nationwide push, this funding—backed by the Working Families Tax Cuts Act—supports trapping, habitat restoration, and disease prevention. Teams from the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service are partnering with local groups to protect farms, ecosystems, and public health. Twelve states are eligible, with applications due by late September 2026. This isn’t just about crops—it’s about soil, water, wildlife, and safety.
