It's actually "farmland" rather than farm, and therefore tagged 
correctly.  If it was me I'd use a lightly colour for farmland so that 
farmyards (also tagged correctly in that area) stand out a bit more 
(obligatory "Blue Peter"** link http://imgur.com/L6l2g3z * to compare 
with http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/12/2028/1348.png ).

You can argue whether or not populating most of England with 
landuse=farmland is a good use of anyone's time, but you can't argue 
that it's wrong :)

Cheers,

Andy
