ROI
For most landowners, they’re constantly thinking about the return on investment when it comes to whatever it is that keeps them maintaining land that they own. Whether that’s cattle, crops, event hosting, solar energy grid ownership, or anything else that may help them make their livelihood. When you look at the numbers, the cost of inaction can quickly outweigh the cost of effective control.
Farmers and Their Money
Let’s take an example of a farmer. The estimated price per acre when it comes to planting corn in 2026 is about $360 dollars per acre after factoring in seed, labor, permits, etc. If a farmer has 200 acres of fertile crop land that’s $72,000 in potential profit. Consider that a pack of feral swine can do damages of up to $28 dollars per acre. When you do the math, that’s $10,080 in potential damages that farmers have to eat as a loss to their overall revenue.
Our System
JAGER PRO® systems range from $1,800 for our BoarBuster Camera Conversion Kit up to $4,800 for our M.I.N.E.® Sergeant Trapping System. For some landowners especially smaller operations this can feel like a significant investment, and that’s completely understandable.
However, when it comes to managing feral swine, preventative maintenance is key. Addressing the issue early helps avoid much larger losses down the road. In many cases, the damage caused by feral pigs can easily exceed the cost of even our most advanced trapping system and that’s just an average estimate.
Every property is different, and each landowner faces unique challenges. That’s why JAGER PRO® focuses on understanding your specific situation and helping you find the most effective and practical solution for long-term control.
One Capture Savings.
One single sounder capture using our M.I.N.E.® Sergeant Trapping System would save you an extra $5,280 if we’re going off of the averages presented, once again the savings could be even higher when factoring in your unique situation!
How Much Is Prevention Worth?
In the end, it comes down to a simple question: how much is prevention worth compared to loss to you as a landowner? The numbers tell part of the story, but real results are seen in the field where one decision can protect an entire season’s worth of work. When you start looking at feral swine control through the lens of long-term ROI, the approach begins to shift from reactive to strategic. And that’s where the real difference is made.
