Round here (Cumbria), that would have sheep on it. When I did school
geography, it was called Rough Pasture.

I'm happy to use "farmland" to mean cultivated land, whether for cash
crops, pasture for livestock, haymaking, any farming activity.
But I keep finding myself on land for which none of the available tags
really seem to apply. There seems to be one missing. For example:

I tend to map to field boundaries: it's all farmland in my view, just not
necessarily productive. In particular strips of grass around arable may be
a short-term consequence of various subsidy schemes, or game cover crops.
Many ditches are there to improve the drainage of the fields so I'd see
them

One thing for me is that if walking in the winter knowing that a particular
field which a footpath crosses is arable can be very useful. If have COPD
(around 40% lung capacity) and walking across a recently ploughed field can
push me past the level where my breathing can cope. Obviously I therefore
Mapping Fields - preferred method I think is individual fields, or at
least polygons which are based on road or natural boundaries. Mea Culpa
- I have also mapped farmland as larger polygons.
Large polygons make life difficult when a field changes use - near where
I live it becomes scrub for s
I have always thought that farmland as an English word means land used
for production by growing things - cabbages, cows etc. Hierarchy then
led to arable, pasture, horticulture. But what do you do with managed
woodland eg coppiced or pollarded or left to semi-wild animal
populations eg deer, s

I see no benefit to mapping individual fields as separate polygons
tagged as farmland if adjacent fields are also farmland. Could you
explain why you think this is best?
I see no reason why mapping individual fields would not be an objective
for OSM.
