During early April I looked at nodes/ways/relations tagged as landuse=farm as reclassified many of them as appropriate.

Howver , in some places I noted that individual fields had been tagged using landuse = farm, for example:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/11.225924767247454/124.54216374231005
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/16.933969/121.13637
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/14.883274660783613/120.25851326487962


At present I have done nothing with these ways

The standard use in OSM for landuse=farmland is for it to be used on larger areas, rather than individual fields

There appears to be no approved tag in OSM for fields, (though taginfo <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/field#values> shows field=yes used on 388 occasions worldwide)

There seem to be a number of possibilities regarding these ways:

1) retag them as landuse=farmland
2) delete them and draw a single way round the larger outline of all the adjacent fields and tag this as landuse=farmland 3) retag them as field=yes, and also draw a single way round the larger outline of all the adjacent fields and tag this as landuse=farmland.

Of these I think I favour approach 3 as it keeps the field data in OSM (someone might have a use for this)

What are your thoughts?

Regards

David

I don't think it will take too long for one person to do this, but I may be mistaken.

It will also be an opportunity to look at some of the areas tagged as "landuse = farm", and merge them into adjacent areas where appropriate.

Shall I start looking at the relations and ways and change where appropriate from "landuse = farm" to "landuse = farmland"?

What do you think?

Go for it! Would it also make sense to turn this into a Maproulette task?
