It's actually "farmland" rather than farm, and therefore tagged

The legend says 'Farm', and 'Farmyard' is a distinct land use from
farmland, so they should be distinguishable, and while we don't 'tag for
the renderer' ....
Oh, _that_ legend:

You can argue whether or not populating most of England with
landuse=farmland is a good use of anyone's time, but you can't argue
that it's wrong :)
What is needed is proper tagging of fields rather than adding random
areas of 'farmland' where the land outside of that is also farmland
anyway. So yes I would argue that some of these areas are wrong when
they have some arbitrary boundary through the middle of farmland.
FWIW I personally tend to only add landuse when I've surveyed and added
all the gates, stiles, gaps, hedges, walls, fences etc. - but it's an
entirely personal choice.
Cheers,
Andy
