Well having grown up in rural areas there is always people going round
offering to take photos of farms, then of course you have major
commercial operations that supply to the various governments for
various purposes.

I can't remember how much it costs to get a photo of your farm, but
commercial hi-res sat imagery is $300k per sq km according to the OSM
wiki.

Another option might be to hire a plane + pilot to go take your own
photos... Then of course there is hobbyists you could probably fly
with for the cost their fuel bill...
