I'd call it track, if you need a something kind of like a 4WD truck to get there, and service if a regular car would work ok on any random day you show up. I don't think agricultural use is necessary for track. It's more "not a real road, not really usable by regular cars." service vs track is actually not a big deal, because unlike highway=unclassified/residential (and higher), highway=service does not have an implication that the public has a right of use. I would implicitly treat highway=service as having access=destination if it has no access tags, and highway=track I would assume access=private. Probably the semantics of default access values needs to be more clearly defined.
