Hogs do not make farmers money in Kansas from what I understand.

I don't believe that at all. The farmer will get something out of the hogs and he will sell them for what ever the price.Very possibly he also has a note at the bank on these hogs and feed. You say turned loose! How well would you get along with your neighbors at other farms when they find out you let hogs go wild?
The hog market is cyclical and i know of people that are retired very well from raising hogs in Ks. You may know a lot about feral hogs but you could use a primer on business.

Very edible. Just won't be able to get bacon from them since they don't have much fat. They're basically lean pork so every pork product you can think of..you can get from them.
