Ethernet Extender - 900 Ft Ethernet Run

Anyone have experience with different ethernet extenders? I do work for some farms and i have one in need of connecting two offices together and the run would be about 900ft. Whatever wire is run would need to be somewhat robust, it wouldn't be out in the open outside but it would be run through a barn which is not temperature controlled and comes with everything barns come with - humidity, lots an lots of crap, etc.

Currently looking at an ethernet over coax device made by startech:

Something faster would be nice but i'm not sure fiber would hold up. I also don't have the tools to terminate fiber and haven't done it since trade school almost 20 years ago.

If i don't sort out a wired solution wireless will be the next option which i have lots of experience with, only trouble is having to over the top of the buildings there is just so much barn in the way.
