Victoria County Commissioners want to trap an agricultural pest before things go hog wild. This year, the county will receive a total of $40,000 from state and federal funds to employ personnel who can eradicate feral hogs and other nuisances to farmland. Research in the last decade has estimated feral hogs can produce agricultural damages of up to nearly $120 million a year in Texas, according to the state’s parks and wildlife department.
