Yeah, easy to get electricity than fuel to remote farms. Perhaps they could setup cooperatives that operate solar/wind farms to recharge their equipment?

  Most farms have more than enough space to generate all of the power they need. A few solar panels go a long way. Even in winter, these things still generate power. Add some wind mills (which some farms already have) and they'd be pretty much self sufficient. The rest can come from the grid. Though most farmers would probably end up being net producers. The main factor slowing down the transition to battery electric is the cost of batteries. As this comes down, more equipment is going to be electrified. But especially heavy equipment needs a lot of power and therefor relatively large batteries. What's prohibitively expensive this year might be totally doable just a few years down the line.
