I too don't like it. Will they do the same with farmland? Orchards?

Possible solutions that can be applied to other 'crops'?

harvesting:start_date=* to state when harvesting commenced

harvesting:method=   *
Possible values?
clear_cut (can be applied to many types of crops?)
selective (can be applied to many types of crops ?)

Here I am trying to get away from timber specific terms, to more generic 
terms.
