So one follow up question: if I do purchase a Verizon mifi product like the jetpack, is there hardware to increase the signal and keep it from dropping out?

There can be hardware that helps with that, but nothing is great.

Do you have line of sight to anywhere? Any other farms or houses?

@scottalanmiller I do, but am not sure what they use.

Contact them. ask to have service put in there and then use a point to point wireless link from someone like Ubiquiti.

It's a friendly area, your wife probably even knows whoever they are. Just stop by, knock on the door, likely someone has something you could use. Be creative. Everyone knows how much it sucks out there without Internet. Split their Internet costs with them, put up your wireless, likely they will be thrilled with the idea.

Is there no legal issues to worry about here?

What issues could there be? He's be going to the house owner, and their ISP asking for this setup to occur.

Why would their be? You are obviously inferring something that was not stated.

Or he might just go to the house owner and ask if he can pay half of their bill a month and install some equipment.

That is illegal. THe ToS specifically states that you cannot sublet.
-
But there is nothing illegal about you paying for your own service to be installed at the address you specify.

Isn’t that what Scott just suggest?

So read Scott’s comment to mean split the internet costs with the ISP? Not the home owner?

Don't speculate! Have you read every ToS from every ISP everywhere?!
