Abstract: The National Agricultural Statistics Service is seeking approval to renew and change a survey that will collect data related to the number of feral swine in the US and the amount and type of damages caused by them. In the previous collection that was conducted in 2015 the primary focus was on the amount of damage that was caused to cropland and pastureland. The target population was all farmers who produced one or more of the following crops: soybeans, wheat, rice, peanuts or sorghum in any of the following States: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas. The focus for the 2017 survey will involve 13 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas), and the target population will be producers of cattle, hogs, sheep and/or goats.
