In most cases fiber running past a rural farm is long-haul fiber that you aren't going to able to lease to a nearby colocation point for buying transit. If you do get lucky though and it can be leased, you'll probably still have to pay to bury new fiber from the nearest vault or handhole because they aren't going to dig up the conduit and cut it open just for one guy buying a pair of fibers. That could be over a mile away. The good news is plowing/trenching fiber in a rural area is cheaper than urban/suburban.
Anyway would be interested in more details from that project owner, sounds interesting.
