Do what normal farmers do - grow crops, raise animals, sell timber from their more forested areas.
What about all the farm support services? Mechanics and other tradesmen are neede din teh country just as much as in urban areas. Sell insurance door to door, supply seed, fertiliser, machinery. Shear sheep.
The opportunities are only limited by your imagination really.
With technology today, there's many formally urban jobs that can now be done in some very remote locations - telecommute, i.e. work at home and communicate by the internet (sure you might need a satlink, but it's still very possible and becoming more and more common). I know of at least one top class structural engineer living on the wild east coast of Tasmania, hundreds of kilometres from the office yet churning out building designs, etc.
