Re: produce, It's much harder for a mapper to find out if a herd of goats is used to produce milk, meat or cheese than to just tag "there are goats here", even if you are doing a local survey. Unless the farm has a sign like "Farmer Joe's Eggs", it's not easy to tell if chickens are raised for meat or eggs, or for live sale to other farms. This is why I believe it would be useful to have a standard key to tag livestock animals on farms, just as there are tags for the type of crops growing on farmland, the type of orchard/plantation trees/plants, and the type of aquatic organism raised in aquaculture ponds.
It's okay if mappers want to add produce=cheese to an farmyard where goats are kept, but it's still useful to add animal/livestock=goats - this also shows that it's goat cheese, not regular cow milk cheese.
