<p>Remote areas and larger farms generally have been troubling me
too Graeme. I make no distinction about numbers of people, just a
landuse=farm node. (so I copied a very prolific mapper!) Recently
I noted that landuse:farm has been deprecated and to use
landuse:farmland, but that complains about being a node. There is
no easy way to define a farm boundary. I think in terms of the
mailbox, driveway and largest concentration of activity being the
node centre.<br>
</p>
<p>And the name is the farm name, not the house name.. maybe! <br>
</p>
<p>Remote cattle stations can support an extended family (in more
than one homestead) and other many onsite (staff) people. Are the
working farm staff include in any people sizing calculations?
ouch!<br>
</p>
<p>Personally I don't think it a good idea to tag a farm that
creates commercial income with any notion of the number of people.
It gets a bit blurry when it is an unusual group like a religious
order or non profit retreat, but they already have other tags.</p>
<p>Cheers Bob<br>

<div>An anonymous user is hitting Notes with quite a few entries
yesterday to say that remote homesteads are incorrectly tagged
as hamlets eg <a class="gmail-anchor-1MIwyf

I'd say that "hamlet" was probably correct in that there could
well be a couple of families living there? <br>

<div>Other suggestions that have been made are
place=isolated_dwelling or place=farm.</div>

Bit of a grey area, I guess? Isolated-dwelling says 1-2
families only, hamlet says 100-200 people, while place=farm
says "a family of farmers". Guess it really depends on the
particular property involved, which would require detailed
local knowledge?
