[HOT] Sierra Leone, #hotosm-ebola-672 : Feature Interpretation

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Michel,

This is just my opinion and I am sure someone will correct me if I have 
it wrong:

That looks like a mix of cassava fields, rice paddies and palm orchards 
to me. I am not sure about the rice paddies exactly where you linked to, 
but north of there are rice paddies I am pretty sure.

For sure it looks cultivated to me so you can tag it with landuse=farmland.

Then you have the option to include the crop=cassava or crop=rice where 
appropriate or orchard=palm, but I would put a fixme=confirm crop on 
there if you did designate a crop type.

For examples of cassava you can see some here:

I will probably use the rice paddies from north of the location you sent 
to help illustrate what rice paddies look like as I am on the lookout 
for examples.

As always, it is difficult to be 100% sure of the crop so you can either 
just stick to landuse=farmland or also put the fixme=confirm crop tag on 
if you add the crop=* tag to the landuse=farmland tag.

Thank you for asking!

Cheers,
Blake
