The Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program (FSCP) was established by the 2018 Farm Bill to respond to the threat feral swine pose to agriculture, native ecosystems, and human and animal health. USDA is focusing efforts through this pilot where feral swine pose the highest threat.

Program at a Glance
The Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program (FSCP) is implemented jointly by NRCS and USDA’s Animal and Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS).
Pilot projects consist broadly of three coordinated components:
- Feral swine removal by APHIS;
- Restoration efforts supported by NRCS; and
- Assistance to producers for feral swine control provided through grants with non-federal partners.
Projects are expected to conclude September 30, 2031. This year, NRCS will invest up to $3 million per project and NRCS will provide up to 75 percent of the total project costs, with the remaining 25% of costs coming from match committed by the partner.
Since 2020, NRCS has obligated more than $41 million for 34 feral swine pilot projects in 12 states. APHIS and NRCS limited the original funding to select areas of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. The program has been expanded to include California and Tennessee.
Who is Eligible
The activities of the pilot program will be conducted in pilot areas where feral swine have been identified as a threat, as determined by the Secretary. For this funding opportunity, a total of $35 million is available for partners to work with NRCS and APHIS to help deliver assistance to landowners in 14 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
