An agronomist alerted to a particular situation being faced by growers in the southwest of Buenos Aires, Which is getting worse in recent times. Twitter user Fernando Meoli showed images of a silobag with wheat possibly ravaged by wild boars, which would force them to spend extra after harvest.
“In the southwest, wild boar complicates grain storage,” said Fernando Meoli. “Less than 30 days to harvest and we should already have removed the wheat, which is a product of the breaks done by the animals. Once they attack, they don’t back down.” He added in the publication that it began to be replicated among growers in the field. The incident took place at Las Mostajas station, Coronel Pringles party. The wheat was harvested on 8th December and the silo bags were destroyed by 26th of the same month. Meoli manages the area where the break occurred.
After the post, growers who went through the same situation expressed their solidarity with him and started sharing how they control this animal that has started affecting agricultural fields in recent years.

The wild boar is native to North Africa, it is widespread throughout Europe and Asia It was introduced to Argentina in 1905 by Pedro Luro. who brought it from France to his estate in the province of La Pampa for hunting.
