Extra Details: I started out with Peek-A-Boo from Complete Workflow to adjust some of my highlights. I lowered the opacity to about 50. I the ran One Click Color, center fill layer turned off and darkened the exposure. I used Rustic on about 30%, brushed off the cows then Lemonade stand at about 40% with center fill layer turned off. Dark Magic Markers applied to the grass to bring back pop and Bottle of Red from Winter Whirlwind to bring back some color.

In addition, I went in and cloned out the pole and power lines running across the photo.
