Barn_P | Feature Type | A roofed farm building designed for sheltering harvested crops (for example: hay), livestock (for example: cattle), and/or farm machinery (for example: tractors and plows). | - |
Barn_S | Feature Type | A roofed farm building designed for sheltering harvested crops (for example: hay), livestock (for example: cattle), and/or farm machinery (for example: tractors and plows). | - |
Farm_P | Feature Type | A tract of land, including buildings and structures, whose primary use is the production of food (for example: crops or livestock). | A farm can be a holding of any size from a few dozen to many thousands of acres, and may be specialized to particular forms of food production, for example: a truck farm where primarily vegetables are grown, an orchard where tree fruit and/or nuts are grown, a vineyard where grapes are grown, and a ranch where livestock are raised on the range. A large farm or estate operating on the plantation economy model is termed an 'industrial farm' or 'plantation'. |

Greenhouse_P | Feature Type | A structure, sometimes recognized as a building, constructed primarily of transparent material (for example: glass or plastic), in which temperature and humidity can be controlled for the cultivation and/or protection of plants. | Greenhouses can range in size from very large conservatories such as the Palm House at Kew Gardens in England to row covers. Many of the large public greenhouse conservatories are used for growing tender and rare plants. Commercial greenhouses are often state-of-the-art production facilities for vegetables or flowers. Row covers and similar structures are usually made of a lightweight transparent material placed directly above rows of crops on a supporting framework to form a low tunnel. The transparent materials on these structures may be temporary being removed once the crop is well-established. At times, the entire structure may be removed. |

IndustrialFarm_P | Feature Type | An estate or large farm operating on the plantation economy model in which the farm operates as a single economic unit whose operations are based on agricultural mass production of a few staple crops (for example: cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, bananas, and/or rubber) that are typically not indigenous to the region. | Plantation economies are often dependent on distant (for example: export) markets as the crops are harvested in large quantities. Historically, industrial farms were often found in former European colonies and termed 'plantations'. |

Ranch_P | Feature Type | A tract of land, including buildings and structures, whose primary use is the grazing of livestock on large, mostly unimproved, lands that are otherwise unsuitable for farming (for example: arid). | The natural vegetation of the grazing area is usually dominated by native grasses, grass-like plants, forbs, and shrubs, but may include native or adapted introduced species that are managed like native vegetation. Ranches may be of nearly any size and if the ranch includes arable or irrigated land, the ranch may also engage in raising crops, especially hay and feed grains. |

Stable_P | Feature Type | A building similar to a barn and adapted for the shelter and feeding of domestic animals, being divided into individual stalls. | Although commonly used to house horses, it may be used to house other animals (for example: prize cattle, sheep or goats) and often includes a storage loft (for example: for hay). |
