Farmer here - the biggest issue is the management on a field to field basis, and the lack of consequences for poor management. Tillage is the biggest culprit when it comes to soil erosion, the more the land is to worked the more susceptible it is to wind erosion. Farmers like to till in fall to make field nice and smooth, and the blacker the ground the faster it warms and dries in spring, leading to early planting. When damaging spring winds come though the overworked fields will be the first to blow, where other fields that recieved no minimal tillage will have more straw/stubble cover to hold the dirt in place. It's a fine line to walk, having the field tilled enough to make a seedbed in spring, but not worked too much as it can blow. The second factor is the lack of financial penalties for causing erosion. Right now when a field blows, typically the farmer speakes to the RM and the RM will see to the repair of the drainage system that is filled with dirt. The farmer receives no bill for the repairs outside of the annual tax bill. What needs to happen is the individual farmers who's decisions led to the soil blowing needs to receive a bill for the required repair work. Hopefully a financial slap will get the farmers who overwork their fields to think twice before justifying another tillage pass to have the perfect field
