> but I recently completed a site-to-site network between two farms in rural America, no other ISP can serve these farms, and they needed to communicate cow data between the different farms.

This may be verging on off-topic, but it's too good an opportunity to not deliver this very fitting reminder: in 2018 Anja Karliczek, then-Minister of Science of Germany, made headlines for the quote "5G nicht an jeder Milchkanne notwendig" [1] ("you don't need 5G on every milk jug") aka the rural areas (that had been left behind even with prior mobile phone/data and even landline DSL deployments) didn't have enough need for fast Internet access.

So, to answer her question, what exactly are these farms doing that they need to exchange cow metrics? Tracking of milk production per cow?

That's a fair question, I assume it's milk production tracking, health status of each cow, etc. That's a bit out of my wheel house. This was previously 2 different farms owned by two different families, but after 2020 a lot of these places sold off their farms due to financial hardships. I lost a ton of clientele over the course of 2020 due to mega farms buying them out for pennies on the dollar.
