More generic terms sound good, though I don't know what other crops have
growing times long enough for it to be useful.


I should describe my use case a bit more: When hiking and planing a hike
(in Scandinavian forests) it is very useful to know/see where the clearing
(from clearcutting) are. Resent ones have lost of wet tracks from the
harvesters but also areas that was cleared 5-10 years ago as they are often
thick with young birch trees.

Basically these areas are part of a larger forest just in the beginning of
the ~100 year growth cycle and having a way to represent at an intermediate
detail level is what I'm after. IE more into then just forest without
having to differentiate the stages, ground/scrub/young mixed forest etc. As
seeing the differences from satellite imaginary can be hard specially when
it is not that easy to find the date of the imaginary.
