an area with
surface=concrete

not sure if this qualifies for highway=x area=yes as well. Might be
worth creating a new tag for it. (man_made?)

cheers,

 Any suggestions?  I don't think they really count as
 landuse=farmyard as I think that should refer to the central
 farmyard(s) of a farm, where the barns etc are.

Perhaps the best solution would be to ask some farmers, in such areas, what 
they call these concrete slabs?  I would suggest asking several, so that you 
can learn whether or not there is a consistent term for them.  Alternately, 
contact a company that is likely to be in the business of building such 
concrete slabs.
