Max Armstrong shares that he’s keeping a closed eye on his trail cams, after hearing about a neighbor who saw a wild hog. The hogs are a growing problem in the North. He reports on a North Dakota story about a large wild hog that was recently put down. The challenge is the growth of “super pigs” which are a cross between the European wild boar and a domestic pig. Max shares a warning of a large herd running wild in Canada, which can handle the northern winter. Feral pigs are a growing problem in the U.S.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
