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 2019 the primary focus was on the amount of damage that was caused to selected crops in the target states. The focus for the 2021 survey will involve 13 states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas), to measure the damage to livestock that is associated with the presence of feral swine. These States were chosen because they had high feral swine densities and a significant presence of cattle (dairy and/or beef), hogs, sheep and/or goats.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden and responses is due partly to changing the target population from farm operators who grew selected crops over to farmers that had cattle (dairy and/or beef), hogs, sheep and/or goats on their operation. In addition, burden and responses have been increased to allow for an additional attempt at collecting data by mail before beginning phone follow-up with non-respondents.
