You didn't specify from what, so I took the liberty of interpreting it as from rodents and bugs. So, farmers could get insecticides for the bugs, or plant a species that bugs don't like. Fences for things like rabbits, high fences for deer. Scarecrows or something for birds.
There is wind because if the convection currents in the air!!!!! So land heats up faster and hot air rises and cool aur rushes in to take its place hope this helped
