True, you wouldn't want to try and tag that. However certain types of agriculture like vineyards are much more permanent. So maybe it is appropriate to leave them as landuse: landuse=orchard landuse=vineyard ... Presumably a basic distinction between pasture, crops, grapes, and any kind of tree (orchards, hazelnuts...) would be meaningful and not change too quickly. Even that might not be maintainable though, since by definition agricultural areas have low population density (and very low OSM mapper density...)
