With regard to your comment below I am aware of mappers that use meadow because there are horses in a field year round. Personally, I don't think this is the way to identify a meadow.
We currently have the farmland/farm landuse tag. It would seem that this should be the primary tag and then other tags should be used to identify the actually landuse in this context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_land This would seem to devide farmland into crop/arable/pasture. We have the crop tag so perhaps we should have arable and pasture. Unfortunately it the goes on to describe pastures as pastures and meadows. I must admit I would map meadows in the context of conservation as we have lost so many in the UK as farming has become more intensive and they have been turned into improved pasture for intensive grazing. http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/biodiversity/englands/habitatofthemonth/lowlandmeadows.aspx Interestingly there are 800 natural=meadows in taginfo. It is good that you have raised this issue.
