That is fine.

I would also like to know when a harvest is planed, so I can avoid the 
area when that is taking place (traffic, noise and dust).

Where an area has been clear felled, replanted and is now thick.. they 
usually do a selective harvest to thin it out and leave the best trees 
for future harvest. So there may be a need to tag that too?

Other crops of a long term nature? The ones I can think of are all tree 
related e.g. sandalwood.

Satellite imagery is not much use for this.
