[talk-ph] best practice for mapping landuse=farm

[ian lopez]

I prefer option two as well, since we may end up turning an unsuspecting place (specifically an obviously non-farm area, see here: http://osm.org/go/4zhFrawyw- ) into farmland. And regarding option 2's cons, I have only this to say: May tiyaga, may nilaga (or something like that).

Hi,

I am currently tracing farms in Bulacan from the spot5 imagery.  The
current practice I do following this example
(http://osm.org/go/4zhBwibC) is to map as much as possible separate
fields subdivided by "pilapils", irrigation canals and hedgerows.  But
this gets to be a daunting task over time.
I am reading the discussion over the talk page (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:landuse%3Dfarm ) and the
proposed approaches are:
       1. Draw a polygon enclosing an entire island, like Great
Britain, or even a subcontinent, like Europe; tag it as farmland; and
then let everything else sit on top of that. Pro: least effort for
mappers. Con: no way to mark unvisited land; risks telling lies.
       2. Draw every field or farm separately, as it gets surveyed,
and admit that we don't know about the rest. Pro: the most honest,
accountable solution. Con: time-consuming, lots of data.

Which one should we adopt? I'm inclined to follow option 2.
