[Talk-GB] Farmland (crop or animals)?

[Warin]

Humm What is it that needs to be tagged? Possibly some sub tags for

tillage=yes/no/yearly/* ? to indicate if ploughed and if known how 
frequently

produce:category=animal/plant to indicate the broad group of produce?

This could then be applied to any 'landuse' ... no matter how it is tagged.
