Extend WiFi on Farm acreage?

I have a friend with a farm and acreage where they have limited/spotty cell service. They want to extend WiFi to allow for assisted WiFi calling as well as adding some cameras to monitor the animals and stuff. I've been looking at Ubiquiti products and was thinking of doing some PtP connections in order to accomplish this. I'm not familiar enough with most of those items and was wondering if anyone had some inputs for me to consider. I haven't been up there yet to survey it so idk if it would be possible to try and trench some areas for fiber runs. Hoping to get up there next weekend to check it out.
Any suggestions?

FYI this location is easy to find on maps with the name of that road there.
Do they have power at multiple locations?

Definitely, stuff out there that can do this. Not going to be cheap though

Don’t trench fiber
Trench direct burial cat6 cable, not difficult unless you want to get it super deep to avoid farm equipment

Thats what i would do if you have power and LOS between the two locations.
You can even buy nanostations pre-bridged on Amazon.

Well I just ordered the equipment for Phase 1 - Network Upgrade and WiFi Coverage. Going Ubiquiti as expected:
- Dream Machine Pro
- 16 port switch
- ACPro (x2)
Going with 9u rack, UPS, and 24 port patch panel. Will colocate everything in one spot and place that’s hopefully easy to access from attic. Added some smart things: lights, ecobee thermostat, flume water meter, and garage door opener. Looking forward to getting this done and then hitting the next phase with extending to horse barn
