The key =* is used to specify crop produced by cultivated land, mainly landuse=farmland.

Note: When used on cultivated land, it is recommended that this tag only be used for areas where the same crop is repeatedly (e.g. grown year after year). Otherwise it is easy for the value to become inaccurate in OSM.

The following agricultural and forestry crops have their own attributes and keys:

• For orchards see landuse=orchard and trees=*.
• For forestry see landuse=forest and produce=*.

Usage

Add =* to an feature. This requires a primary feature tag such as

• landuse=farmland,
• landuse=meadow, or
• landuse=vineyard.
