Didn't we experience an entire decade in the 1930s getting first hand experience on this. I would hope that we learned a lot about how to mitigate this issue.
Where I live in Southern Saskatchewan, farmers are digging out shelter belts very rapidly. I would imagine that their low till, zero till, and high-cut headers (leaves taller stubble) are even better at keeping the soil and capturing snow over winter than a row of trees every few hundred metres.
