It is no wonder that the areas where there is the highest agricultural activity have the highest wind and water erosion. What is now agricultural land, in the past had a natural protection of wild plants, but now it doesn't.
The constant plowing of the soil results in making the soil much more loose several times in a year, sot he wind is able to pick up particles easily, and the water is able to easily move the top layers.
