Do private pilots land and take off on roads far out in the country,
When there are no cars for miles in any direction ?

It does happen, yes.

Is it legal ? And legal or not do they do it ?

The FAA has no specific regulation against it. However, local jurisdictions
may prohibit.

Like a flying veterinarian might do if he services farms over a couple
hundred mile area.

A flying vet would, for best utilization, have an airplane suitable for
landing on non-paved surfaces, and in many cases would be able to land on
the farm property itself. All but the smallest farms would likely have a
large enough area for a small plane to land.

As another example of landing on roads, there is at least one resort I've
heard of where standard practice is to land on the road leading to the
resort. If I recall correctly, the procedure is to call the resort on the
radio before landing, and they will hold traffic for your landing.

Please send your answer to me also at

No. If your question is important enough to you for anyone here to spend
time answering it, it is important enough for you to come back and check the
newsgroup for the answers.
