This is a misuse of this tag. place=farm is for the rare (non existent?) 
cases where a residential community, such as a hamlet, has acquired the 
name of an adjacent farm. "a place named by a name of a farm" - 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Farm

The description for http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dfarm 
is poorly written & confusing.

If mapping just the sheds/farmhouse etc of a farm, landuse=farmyard 
should be used.

It was discussed previously:
