I once encountered a large area on Gregory Bald, high in the Great Smoky Mts. Nat. Park, where the sod had been completely demolished, as if it had been turned over with a rototiller. The rangers told me that wild boars did that by rooting in the soil.

Years back, before Mother Earth went Boomer, one guy wrote in that he had a few acres of scrub brush on his farm and asked the best way to clear it. Some old farmer in Missouri wrote back that he should fence the area in and turn loose some hogs. The place would be cleared - and fertilized in no time.

Don't need to go any further than my neighbor to see that. Have told him for years to put up a fence. Oh, well.
