The best way to reduce wind erosion on farm is to plant ground cover in unused fields.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Wind erosion is defined as the removal of the top soil from unused barren land by winds.
  • This results in degradation in the soil fertility and renders it unproductive.
  • Roots of plants bind soil particles.
  • Planting ground covers like herbs , shrubs and wild plants on unused land will prevent the exposure of the top soil to the eroding agents and reduce erosion.
