What costs more raising a pig or shooting one in the wild? If the answer is the latter perhaps someone can make a fun business out of it :)

The most effective way of removing feral hogs is by trapping since you can catch multiple animals at a time. Shoot one and the others scatter.

Feral hog meat, unlike typical pork, is a deep red and can have a wild-game taste. It makes for great sausage and barbecuing but you wouldn't necessarily want a ham sandwich everyday in your lunch.

Many outfitters charge both the hunter for the opportunity to hunt and the farmer for the removal service.

I don't think it is legal to sell feral pig meat.
