<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>It looks like landuse=farm rendering is being removed from the standard map.</div><div><br></div><div>That means a huge hole is going to be visible in landuse mapping in Belgium in a short while.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Here's an overview:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://i.imgur.com/Gbjf3sJ.jpg">http://i.imgur.com/Gbjf3sJ.jpg</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>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".</div><div><br></div><div>(it is probably going to be a much bigger job to fix the overuse of landuse=grass: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/ZfpTe7m.jpg">http://i.imgur.com/ZfpTe7m.jpg</a> )</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">nebulon42</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nebulon42@mailbox.org">nebulon42@mailbox.org</a>></span><br>Date: 2017-03-22 13:56 GMT+01:00<br>Subject: [OSM-talk] Upcoming removal of landuse=farm in the standard style<br>To: osm-talk <<a href="mailto:talk@openstreetmap.org">talk@openstreetmap.org</a>>, <a href="mailto:tagging@openstreetmap.org">tagging@openstreetmap.org</a><br><br><br>Dear all,<br>
<br>
at openstreetmap-carto - the standard style on <a href="http://osm.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">osm.org</a> - a change has<br>
been merged<br>
(<a href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/2554" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>gravitystorm/openstreetmap-<wbr>carto/pull/2554</a>) to drop<br>
rendering of landuse=farm. There was overall consensus that this tag is<br>
deprecated and its usage steadily declined over the last years, but<br>
there are still around 340 000 uses. See<br>
<a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=farm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.<wbr>org/tags/landuse=farm</a> and<br>
<a href="http://taghistory.raifer.tech/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://taghistory.raifer.tech/</a> for details.<br>
<br>
This change will make it into the next release, but there is no release<br>
date yet. You might want to change cases of landuse=farm in your area to<br>
either landuse=farmland or landuse=farmyard before that. Please don't do<br>
any automatic re-tagging though. After the release empty spots will make<br>
it easier to clean up the remaining uses of this tag.<br>
<br>
