So If you wanted to be somewhat on grid with at least power coming to the container and you want it on farm land. What should you look for in zoning and getting what would be needed to get some power hooked up to that bad boy?

Why not just get a used trailer and hook up to the grid? Trailers are cheap if you shop around. Cost more to bring back power lines, natural gas lines, sewer and water.
My fam got a trailer for around 10k while building a house. Sewer was put in for the house and the trailer hooked into that and the well. Power poles were placed for a quarter mile back. Land has free gas.

Is it a covert op or are you living there? You are going to want water to wash and cook. There are lot's of zoning restrictions about habitation requirements. Can't just live in a TP somewhere or a container. They would rather see you homeless.
