Looking for some financial advice...

My brother and I inherited the family farm after the passing of my grandmother in August which included tillable acres and her house. Yesterday, we closed on the sale of the house and then auctioned off the farm ground and the result was much better than we expected.

Anyway, we're set to close on it by mid-January and then I'll have more than enough money to pay off the mortgage and student loans. After that, I'll still have a significant balance to invest. If you came into a sizable amount of funds, who would you seek out for investment advice? I'm curious about you'd educate yourself and diversify through a portfolio of mutual funds/stocks/bonds/etc that you manage through like a Scottrade, work through a bank or investment firm, etc.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
