    Looking for help with wireless network on a farm

    Thanks to everyone for all the replies. I was hoping to avoid this option because it seemed like perhaps the most expensive and I'd be zig-zagging all over the place trying to avoid fields that are being worked during the year. I think this is the most feasible option for me. It'll...
