   1. pasture = vegetation feature with cover managed by grazing by the landowner or by agreement with the landowner: not grazed as a common/public area. Not usually cut for fodder every season of every year (>60% of annual vegetation removal by livestock, not fodder harvest).
   2. permanent grass or mixed hayfield = grass or mixed non-woody vegetation in permanent hayfield cut seasonally for animal fodder (>60% of annual vegetation removal by fodder harvest, not grazing).
   3. permanent non-grass hayfield = alfalfa or other non-grass permanent hayfield cut seasonally for animal fodder (>60% of annual vegetation removal by fodder harvest, not grazing).
2. Vegetation
   1. pasture
      1. non-woody
      2. woody / some trees
3. Scale
   1. small (<30m)
   2. medium-scale (>30m to 1ha)
   3. large-scale (>1 ha)

1. pasture
   1. small (<30m)
      1. non-woody = pa01
      2. woody/some trees = pa02
   2. medium-scale (>30m to 1ha)
      1. non-woody = pa03
      2. woody/some trees = pa04
   3. large-scale (>1 ha)
      1. non-woody = pa05
      2. woody/some trees = pa06
2. permanent grass or mixed hayfield
   1. small (<30m) = pa07
   2. medium-scale (>30m to 1ha) = pa08
   3. large-scale (>1 ha) = pa09
3. permanent non-grass hayfield
   1. small (<30m) = pa10
   2. medium-scale (>30m to 1ha) = pa11
   3. large-scale (>1 ha) = pa12
