The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investing $35 million to help combat one of agriculture's most destructive invasive species. During today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation Richard Fordyce discussed the department's newly announced Feral Swine Eradication Program, which will provide grant funding to help landowners and partners reduce wild hog populations that threaten farms, ranches and natural resources. Fordyce said feral swine are among the most damaging invasive species affecting U.S. agriculture. The animals destroy cropland, pasture, irrigation infrastructure and wildlife habitat while also posing a serious disease risk to livestock. "When we think about invasive species, they come in all different shapes and sizes," Fordyce said. "Honestly, the feral swine probably could be the most invasive and probably cause the most damage." The program, administered jointly by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), will distribute $35 million in grant funding through qualified partners. Those organizations will work directly with landowners on education, trapping and other management practices designed to reduce feral swine populations. Fordyce emphasized that the program is designed to address both the economic and biological impacts of wild hogs. "They really don't care what landscape they're destroying," he said, noting that feral swine damage forests, cropland, grazing land and sensitive natural areas while also carrying diseases that could spread to domestic swine and other livestock. The discussion also highlighted California's growing feral swine problem. While states such as Texas, Arkansas and Missouri have some of the nation's largest populations, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill noted that wild hogs have been reported across much of California and can cause extensive damage to farmland, orchards and rangeland. For producers experiencing feral swine damage, Fordyce encouraged them to begin by contacting their local NRCS office. "This is a pilot program," he said. "Contact NRCS if you have these critters around and you want to see about how to get rid of them." Applications from eligible partner organizations are due September 21, with NRCS and APHIS working together to evaluate proposals and distribute funding. Fordyce said the goal is to support organizations that already have the expertise to help landowners effectively trap and remove feral swine populations. As wild hog populations continue expanding across the country, Fordyce said the new initiative reflects USDA's commitment to protecting agricultural production while reducing the environmental and economic damage caused by one of the nation's most destructive invasive pests.

DIZNEY COAST TO COAST - The Ultimate Unofficial Disney Fan Podcast
Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, veteran Imagineer Joe Lanzisero returns to talk about an unrealized Muppets attraction he worked on for Disney-MGM Studios, now Disney's Hollywood Studios, at Walt Disney World Resort. The Muppets have had a presence at Disney's Hollywood Studios since the early days. Not only were they used in early marketing for the park, but they also had a stage show called "Here Come The Muppets". They later had a second stage show entitled "Muppets on Location: Days of Swine and Roses". The most successful Muppets attraction to exist at Disney's Hollywood Studios was Muppet*Vision 3D. That entire surrounding area was supposed to be its own Muppets land, but it never came to fruition for reasons Joe and I get into. The area was initally part of Streets of America, then renamed Muppets Courtyard, and eventually Grand Avenue. Soon it will become Monstropolis when the new "Monsters, Inc." land opens in what was supposed to be The Muppet Movie Studios. Listen as Joe and I discuss The Muppet Movie Ride, a traditional animatronics dark ride where Kermit and the gang got into some crazy antics while making movies. That and so much more is coming your way on this episode of Dizney Coast to Coast. ------ EPISODE LINKS: Joe Lanzisero discusses creating Mickey's Toontown (podcast episode) Joe Lanzisero's official website ------ GIVEAWAYS, BONUSES AND SUPPORT: Gain early access to episodes, take part in live streams, and gain more bonuses by joining DCTC on Patreon.

In this podcast, Swine Extension Educator Sarah Schieck Boelke speaks with Lucas Ferreira, Master's student in Veterinary Science in the Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, about his research on trailer contamination at the harvest plant facilities during the unloading of market hogs. The study includes two harvest facilities that Lucas and others visit regularly throughout the year to collect environmental samples from the unloading dock and trailers to analyze for pathogens, such as PRRSv, PEDv, PDCoV, and SVA. The research also includes talking to the drivers about their biosecurity practices. In the podcast, Lucas gives preliminary results and explains the research is ongoing.

Swine production may look different around the world, but many of the industry's biggest challenges are surprisingly similar. In this first episode of our two-part Production Trends Around the Globe series, we're joined by technical experts from North America, Europe, and Asia to explore the current state of pork production in their regions. From labor shortages and disease pressure to changing regulations, market volatility, sustainability expectations, and digital innovation, our guests share firsthand perspectives on the trends shaping today's global swine industry. While every region faces unique circumstances, this conversation highlights the common challenges producers are working to overcome—and the opportunities to learn from one another. Tune in to hear how different parts of the world are adapting to an evolving industry and why collaboration across regions will play an important role in the future of pork production.

Data can provide a clear picture of trends and performance across a swine farm, but its greatest value comes from putting those insights into action. In this episode, Dr. Edison Magalhães, assistant professor in the department of animal science at Iowa State University, discusses how producers can leverage data to make informed decisions that improve herd performance from birth to market. He highlights the challenges of siloed data across different teams, the impact those gaps can have on performance and the importance of integrating data to gain a more complete picture of herd health and productivity. He also explains the PROSPER (Predictors of Swine Performance) tool, which combines data from multiple sources to help producers better understand herd performance.
