I put conduit and breakout boxes up every tower / silo / grain elevator. It has been awesome. I run a ton of extra cables and two or three extra mule tape to each box as well. When the extra cables get used it is cake to pull a new one, and then I leave the 2nd mule tape in the box and pull it back through the next time, so there is always one in there. Also, when it comes time to run fiber to every AP (hey, one can always dream) it will be super easy. I can't imagine ever building out any other way now. I started out using grey pvc conduit, but have since graduated to shielded liqui-tite. The pvc conduit, male adapters, and boxes ran about $100 per site. The shielded 1 1/2" liqui-tite runs about $400-600 per site.
