France has published Crop Field data for many years. Crop fields are declared by farmers within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) subsidy scheme.
The anonymized version is distributed as part of the public service for making reference data available contains graphic data for plots (basic land unit for farmers' declaration) with their main crop. This data has been produced by the Services and Payment Agency (ASP) since 2007.

The latest edition is also available at a stable path: fr/latest/fr.parquet. All editions together through the S3 glob s3://ftw/harmonized-field-data/fr/year=*/*.parquet (see the AGENTS.md for the DuckDB setup; plain https cannot expand *).
Properties that are the same for every field are stored once, in the GeoParquet file's collection metadata rather than as columns (latest edition shown; a client reading only the table will not see them):

This catalog is a mirror: the data is produced and licensed by Anstitut National de l'Information Géographique et Forestière and republished here as cloud-native GeoParquet and PMTiles by Fields of the World. Each edition was downloaded from the source and converted with fiboa-cli 0.21.0, vecorel-cli 0.2.15:
The conversion is deterministic and lives in fiboa-cli; changes to how a column is mapped are made there, not in this catalog.
