[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Upcoming removal of landuse=farm in the standard style

[Marc Gemis]

here is another example I met today

It's clear that the left part on the picture (north on the map) is
cultivated land, the grass is greener. I assume it is
landuse=farmland. I doubt it's meadow, as there is no fence, so you
can't keep cows on it. I think it's grass now, but they will place
some crop on it later on in the season.

The part on the right is clearly different. More like
natural=grassland. There were even some boundary stone separating both
areas. How should I map the southern part ? I don't think it's a
meadow nor a land to grow crop.
