i'm of two minds on this.
farmers do occasionally shift the boundaries between different crops, so like anything else on a map, this is subject to bit rot. on the other hand, in a historical context, there is substantial value in knowing (for example) what crops were planted in which fields on the north and east sides of Sharpsburg Maryland in mid September of 1862, and i plan to map that as part of my Civil War/historical mapping project. richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
