Are we going to need to discuss tagging?
I tend to put landuse=farmyard on the way around the farmyard and name=<name of farm> I then put the address details on the farmhouse building, and just trace the other buildings and add a building tag (perhaps building=barn or building=stable if I know for certain, but often just building=yes). Random example here: http://osm.org/go/0EHzKANQU- Ed From: Brian Prangle [mailto:bpran...@gmail.com] Sent: 30 June 2016 18:13 To: Talk GB Subject: [Talk-GB] Next Quarterly Project Hi everyone A new quarter starts tomorrow so we need a new topic. How about farms? Or more precisely landuse=farmyard. These are major landmarks in rural areas, often with sizeable buildings and usually named in OS StreetView. The only data I've found so far is that there are approx. 100,000 recipients of EU farm subsidies and taginfo with approx 14,000 farms mapped in OSM - so a long way to go. There are obvious problems with just armchair mapping - some farms seem to be little more than caravan storage, some have transformed into equestrian centres, small industrial parks or become just residential - so lots of encouragement for long walks or cycle rides in the country during our glorious English summer Those of us in mappamercia want to try and concentrate our efforts in one place as this makes a more obvious difference to the map - so we'll be concentrating on the county of Herefordshire, which is generally sparsely mapped. You're all welcome to assist, or to suggest a similar place in your own region. Rob Nickerson will be setting up a taginfo script to show us a running daily total. Happy mapping! Regards Brian
