With a few clicks of a button, farmers can use Mississippi State University's new app to map out where feral hogs have been as well as assess the cost from the damage.
"The genesis of creating an app came from wanting a standardized method for collecting locations where feral hogs are causing damage on a landscape," said Bronson Strickland, MSU St. John Family endowed professor of Wildlife Management and Extension wildlife specialist. "We hope with enough data collected we can better determine patterns and trends of where pig populations are the greatest and causing the most problems."
