peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2transitional or idle cultivated land Explanation: the 休 means it is idle (at present). Sometimes this is deliberate, to "rest" the soil in between crops, while sometimes it is unintentional, resulting from depopulation in rural areas, etc. In your example, the suggestion is to make effective use of this idle (cultivated) land - in other words, the land is not virgin forest or anything, it has at one time been used for agricultural purposes in the past.
