Mine got rejected, too!

I can see that, but reviewers will see this information while reviewing:

These locations are not appropriate:

  1. Private property - A single family private residential property (even if historical), farmland, etc.

Emphasis added to “farmland”

I don’t believe we’ve had a lot of strong clarification from Niantic about how they define “farmland,” so unfortunately we don’t know much more than it generally is a reject able location. A place that offers tours, has events, or has a showroom I think you could more easily nominate that rather than a collection of farm use buildings and grain storage.

Landmarks are great, but ineligible locations override what may otherwise be considered having community significance, and in this case being a farmland might be a struggle.

You DO still have the option to re-write your description to remove any of the PoGO references and reiterate in your supporting text field how you think this place meets guidelines on Eligibility Criteria — Wayfarer Help Center (hint, I think your only earnest tie to criteria is “exploration” - the fact that people can meet at this sign to walk or meet there is not relevant - it’s the importance the place may have held for the community and if it’s been recognized). Even then community reviewers may continue rejecting - and that’s when you can use your Appeal for Niantic staff to make their decision.
