I have at least some crop fields where livestock go in after harvest to 
much on the stubble... so multiple use.

Nice entry there John. Some of 'my' fields abut one another so there is 
no gap. Others have patches of scrub inside them, some have water ways 
part way through them. There is rather a lot of the country side here 
that is not mapped and a fair proportion of it are these crop lands. To 
give you an idea of the size .. many times the area of UK. Urban areas 
get more attention as there are more visitors and more mappers there.
