note = "Funding Information: Canada{\textquoteright}s agri-environmental programs began in 1935 with the enactment of the Federal Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act (becoming the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration [PFRA]), which mandated the reduction of soil erosion and increased water access in the western provinces. Through technical and financial support, the Canadian government initiated large-scale irrigation projects, funded on-farm dugouts for water storage for livestock, and planted grasslands for community pasture. It targeted the reduction of soil erosion by promoting strip farming (crops and fallow planted in strips perpendicular to prevailing winds) and planting trees for shelterbelts (windbreaks; Marchildon 2009).",
