I live in a rural area for the first time in my life right now.  It's taking some getting used to.
Really? I also live in a rural area but it is very close to the suburbs so it doens't feel rural to me, lol.
I wish that was the case with me.  There's nothing around here.  Our town only has about 1000 people in it, and we're at least a half hour away from the next town.
I see. Rural areas are usually defined as a geographic area outside towns and cities. I am just outside the main city but you are more rural than me!
I'd say.  We're one of those stereotypical towns where we have more cows than people.  Even worse, no Taco Bell or pizza delivery! 
Yes, agricultural areas such as yours are common in rural settlements. Perhaps there is an opportunity for an entrepreneur to start a pizza place!
