A bit too bored this am so I thought I would ask this: Lets say you were willed a 400 tillable acre farm, with a 4 bdrm home, 60 stall pipeline dairy, a few small to large grain bins, and the ussual misc buiding most farm have.

Only major addition for me would be to build a chicken broiler barn to extra cash flow and manure, and contract it.
