Alberta will now cover damage by wild boars.
Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) will include these pests in its Wildlife Damage Compensation Program.
The program will compensate producers for wild boar damage to eligible unharvested hay crops and eligible annual unharvested crops, wildlife-excreta contaminated crops, stacked greenfeed, and silage in pits and tubes.
To be eligible, producers must let provincial wild boar specialists visit their property to examine the damage, provide recommendations to prevent further damage, and conduct wild boar eradication.
