So, infrastructure. It's important. I have the pig sheds, the woodshed/goose shed, some internal fencing, some trees. What do I still want, in order of priority? These are pretty much the expenses over a thousand dollars I want/can expect in the next ten to twenty years.

And even if I don't really care about the roof, letting my house rot is likely a bad idea.

Tractor with attachments, $8-20k wildly variable cost since it'll be very used and I need to get it close by, I need a 3pt, a pto, and 4wd). Attachments don't need to be got all at once but are:
-post pounder (if I get this before doing the perimeter fence it'll save me ~$1-2k in getting someone in)
-hay forks
-snow blade
-tiller
-backhoe (if I get this before doing the standpipes it'll save me $2k in getting someone in to dig)
-plough/discer
Perimeter fence$6.5k (materials, renting a post pounder would be more, plus labour would be more)
New roof$20-30k, my roof was new a couple years ago but apparently those people were scammed by a terrible job and shingles are blowing off already
Greenhouse$10k
Stand pipes$4k without a tractor, $2k with one)
Buy next door lot $35k for well security, pastureland, and avoidance of neighbours building & complaining. Also it has that church on it for guests to stay in.
New well pump $1.5k will likely be needed in the next 5-10 years too.

~100k over 20 years. Farming, not a cheap hobby. Guess I need to get the pigs paying for themselves and then some.
