If you don't like landuse=farm on a node you can add building=farm
instead, like Pieren suggested. Also his proposal dwelling=farm is
possible. Btw.: you must also be sure that it is indeed a farm, as
some of the place=farm might as well be not actual farms but different
settlements. In German speaking countries you might also get the farm
information from the name (ending with "hof"), but that's not having
it in a dedicated tag, I agree.
