Last season, an estimated 14,600 acres were damaged by nutria. Feral hogs caused roughly $76 million in agricultural loss according to the LSU AgCenter.
Interesting article about the feral hog and nutria problem in South Louisiana. I know first hand that the nutria are everywhere, a real problem because they are so destructive.

More creative ideas like that would be welcome.....
