What geometries should we use? There are privacy/PII considerations here, potentially.

There are some good suggestions related to this in Example Data for FarmOS

Some of the parishes within England (eg Brighton) share kml files of all the council-owned agricultural land, which we may be able to use as a starting point. I’m not sure how receptive the council will be!

One approach that might work would be to find a publicly managed location that is being operated as a farm. For example, there seem to be a few living history museums built around historical farms. We could try reaching out to https://alhfam.org or a similar organization to see if they know of a historical farm with an existing rich GIS dataset in the public domain or with a permissive license. (From either historical or present-day farming activities.)

I was wondering about Universities / Colleges as well - most have research farms and may have datasets that are public use.
