Can agriculture and megafauna coexist?

Some say that one of the reason humans developed agriculture is because megafauna (specifically the Pleistocene megafauna) were hunted for food to extinction and humans were forced to develop agriculture to survive, or that the lack of megafauna means no competition for humans to develop agriculture.

Ignoring other possible reasons like climate change killing off megafauna and creating suitable conditions for crops, is it possible for humans to develop agriculture while most megafauna are still around? And how would agriculture affect those megafauna?
