Feral pigs thriving on bumper grain harvests

Millions of feral pigs roam around large parts of New South Wales and Queensland and bumper grain harvests are providing perfect conditions for a feeding and breeding frenzy. The pest can breed twice a year and can produce between 6 and 10 offspring. In the Riverina, the pigs are feasting on the spoils of a healthy grain harvest, prompting authorities to call on farmers to stay on top of the pest before it breeds in plague proportions.
