Yes, it will be a problem if somebody will damage it with some heavy machine.
Try to plan a safe path, or bury it only in places where it could be damaged. If you have a river or brook, you could just drown fiber in it.
Really there is some cheap repair kits on market, and it could even work if you just align and fix two fibers ends in the way they will light into each other (did it once with toothpick and isolation tape :) ), but it is much better to weld it.
If you have electric poles to your farm and know electrician who is responsible for your area, try to talk with him. Pole mounts is cheap and you don't need them on every pole since fiber is lightweight and strong, if you make an agreement with electrician on putting fibre on his poles, it could be a good variant.
Having it strung on poles seems dangerous during winter though. Ice build up is enough to snap the electric lines, how could I be sure the glass fibre line would be up to the task? Besides running it in an expensive metal sheath or tying it to a steel wire of its own? Plus the poles are owned by the provincial government owned Manitoba Hydro so not as easy to get permission to piggy back on their poles...
