[OSM-talk-be] Landuse mapping: farmland vs meadow/grass

I'm starting mapping landuse in the South of Belgium and I don't know the
proper way to tag meadows/pastures, being grazed or hay meadows. In
Ardenne, a large part of meadows are permanents: there are there for
decades, especially for grazed meadows that can hardly be ploughed (because
non-drained, presence of trees, etc.)

On the other side, even old pastures can sometimes be ploughed and sowed
with a cereal.

So how to tag meadows in Belgium:

   - landuse=farmland + crop=grass
   - landuse=meadow
   - landuse= grass?

>From this post in the osm forum (
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/366/should-pastures-be-marked-as-farm-or-grass),
the first option seems the best, but I've seen a lot of landuse=meadow in
Belgium

Also, any tag for differentiate hay meadow and  grazed pasture?
