same here.
The term outbuilding is usually used to describe real estate as in,
"Jim's got 160 acres, 80 tillable, 30 in pasture, 50 in woods, with 6  
outbuildings, a good dairy barn and two Smith silos."
from there the discussion may move to describe the outbuildings as,
"springhouse, smokehouse, 2 chicken coops, a summer kitchen and  
machine shed."
the machine shed is generally huge - housing tractors, manure  
spreaders, bailers, etc.
(and everything it takes to keep it all running).
For some reason the corn crib is rarely considered a building.
That pretty much describes traditional family farms in Wisconsin
(pre mega-agri-business operations)
