Hi, It looks like landuse=farm rendering is being removed from the standard map.
That means a huge hole is going to be visible in landuse mapping in Belgium in a short while. Most of landuse=farm is the oldest landuse mapping we have. It does not differentiate between growing plants and raising animals, it is also of poor geometric details. I fixed a lot around Halle, and it is basically a total remapping to fix it. Here's an overview: http://i.imgur.com/Gbjf3sJ.jpg In Flanders, the convention seems to be landuse=meadow for grazing lands, and landuse=farmland for growing plants. That's not according to what the wiki says (farmland could be grazing land). But it does make it easy to differentiate. I don't really care what tags we choose. But I wonder if we could tag things so that it stays easy to recognize "agricultural land of which we're not sure whether it is grazing land or plant-growing land". (it is probably going to be a much bigger job to fix the overuse of landuse=grass: http://i.imgur.com/ZfpTe7m.jpg ) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: nebulon42 <[email protected]> Date: 2017-03-22 13:56 GMT+01:00 Subject: [OSM-talk] Upcoming removal of landuse=farm in the standard style To: osm-talk <[email protected]>, [email protected] Dear all, at openstreetmap-carto - the standard style on osm.org - a change has been merged (https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/2554) to drop rendering of landuse=farm. There was overall consensus that this tag is deprecated and its usage steadily declined over the last years, but there are still around 340 000 uses. See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=farm and http://taghistory.raifer.tech/ for details. This change will make it into the next release, but there is no release date yet. You might want to change cases of landuse=farm in your area to either landuse=farmland or landuse=farmyard before that. Please don't do any automatic re-tagging though. After the release empty spots will make it easier to clean up the remaining uses of this tag.
