Very nice composition, it is maybe to dark, you could try to improve the brightness.

Very good use of the furrow to draw the eye deep into the image. The barns and house have a feel of being all alone in vast fields with only that tree to provide some shade on sunny days. It reminds me of traveling across Illinois and Iowa with their old farm houses amid fields of corn. And if it weren't in Canada I'd say it fits into Americana. Perhaps it could be Canadiana. I think the ground could be lightened a bit with a little bit of playing in photoshop. But it's nice and sharp and the sky adds a bit of a moody and menacing feel to what would otherwise be a very quaint and tranquil scene.
