That's about 3/4 of a mile of ethernet cable across fields that are in use. It would have to be buried or on poles.

You could do this with a wifi bridge using some good directional antennas. Might be illegal though depending on where you live.

None within many miles of me. It's all feed corn or alfalfa here, and most of it is lease-farmed, so the landowners don't store it.

Siklu mmWave wireless... As long as you have line of sight, that stuff will reach miles with speed and latency of fiber. Cost a few thousand, but way cheaper than running fiber.

Single mode Fibre cable would work though.
