Paint, that's the first thing it needs, both barn and house, and the silo should look like wood. Next measure the area between hill and plowed field, get a ceiling tile and make the farm diorama on your work bench. Every thing's to level, by using a tile it raises the farm up from right of way, then you could add fence row with brush and small trees between the two. The house should be a little higher than the barn. You need some sheds or leantos for equipment. Plows, balers, manure spreader, another tractor, a pick up, mini van or station wagon, depending on era, that's a big house=large family. Dog house, picnic table, a couple of big oaks or maples near house, a tire swing, and if it's a dairy, even that small, you need a milk house, and maybe a garage. Add some dense shrubs at foot of hills, then large trees going up the hill. Add a brush row between plowed field and right of way, also a small pile of talous or stones, from when they cleared field after first plowing.
