[Tagging] How is the tag landuse=farmland being used?

[Dave F.]

Hi

How are mappers using the tag landuse=farmland? To map individual fields 
or large swathes of arable land?

A user has recently added a large area as a multipolygon relation with 
woods, villages etc as 'inners' Is this common practice?

Wiki is precise on this:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarmland

And field redirects to:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vegetation

My preference is to map individual fields. They can then be individually 
named or assigned to a particular farm/farmer.

Thanks
Dave F.
