Humm What is it that needs to be tagged? Possibly some sub tags for
tillage=yes/no/yearly/* ? to indicate if ploughed and if known how
frequently
produce:category=animal/plant to indicate the broad group of produce?
This could then be applied to any 'landuse' ... no matter how it is tagged.

unpleasantness of walking through cropland where the path is variously
ploughed under, utterly obscured by wheat or maize, or in the best
case surfaced with heavy clay that clings to one's shoes or boots.
