You have 5 routers + the Telus gateway and you're trying to cover 12 acres of land??? There are so many possible things that could be causing issues it's hard to even say where to begin. If you have merely connected each router to LAN1 on the previous one, and you haven't changed the settings on all of them, they could easily be fighting each other.
Some questions:

Here is my suggestion, though @Nighthawk may have a better one:
Note: long runs may require an intermediate device to boost the signal.
Beyond that, you are looking at a commercial installation as previously suggested.

@Zomoac : You might get some success with a parabolic antenna to get to the living quarters. This 12km video may give you some inspiration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYJFwXw1ZIc
To clarify, are you just trying to reach the living quarters? How far is it on your property? Or are you trying to have wifi on the entire farm?

On a good day, most Wi-Fi routers can’t cover a city lot, and may have a radius of about 50 feet. You are expecting a lot of your routers, and mobile devices, if you expect reasonable coverage over the area you are trying to cover.
