<div class="plain_line">I would say yes, as I believe both arable & livestock is farmland.</div>

<div class="plain_line">I concur with your frustration about 'huge multi polygons', especially when joined to other features such as roads & rivers. I believe a few mappers were keen to fill in the gaps rather than map accurately. Personally I think there should be one polygon per field, but I admit that makes for a lot more work.</div>
