Re: [Talk-GB] What is farmland?

Like Dave I have come to the view that mapping individual fields as farmland is a good way to do it. I use farmland=arable & farmland=pasture. This still does not cover cases of permanent grassland which are not used for pasture. I can see the value of farmland=livestock for things like pig

Re: [Talk-GB] What is farmland?

Some mappers use meadow for permanent pasture, on the basis that this is a fundamentally different use of land to putting it under the plough. Others believe that meadow should be reserved for "real" meadow, and that permanent pasture should be distinguished from cropland by some combination of

I would say yes, as I believe both arable & livestock is farmland. Thanks Dave. But in that case, how on OSM do we differentiate between the two? It seems silly that in some areas of OSM we can go into ridiculous detail, such as whether a bench seat has a backrest, but vast tracts of land

[Talk-GB] What is farmland?

My understanding of "farmland" is fields of arable land used for the growing of crops. Vast areas of OSM have been marked in this area as "farmland", often as huge multipolygons which are difficult to edit in the iD editor. On the standard map it creates massive chunks of single colour which
