If you wanted to define field types, I'd suggest the following tags. This
is more or less what is on the wiki, but ignoring some of the more stupid
conventions that someone has introduced.

landuse=farmland for agricultural land (crops, pasture, fruits, etc.)
landuse=meadow for meadows that are kept by grazing animals
natural=meadow for meadows that are left to themselves
natural=scrub/fell/heath/scrub based on standard English definitions.

Look on the wiki for other values e.g. for mountainous or coastal areas.

Tom
