Map what you can verify:
* Often these are expanses of grass with the occasional bush -> landuse=grass
* They can be expanses of shrubland -> natural=shrub

Of course if you know it is greenfield/farmland there are landuse tags for 
that.

If you really don't know what it is and can't describe it, then don't tag it.
