If you can, pay someone to do it!
Seriously, that can be a rotten job.
Beads fused to rims and tyre repairs in cans can make that 5 minute job a saga. And the rims have to be really clean for the new beads to seat.
If I were near a tyre joint, I'd pay them to do it.
Oh yeah, remember to put the right direction on the right sides when it comes to putting the new rubber on.

If you are on a farm and have access to a front end loader just set up a jig to hold the rim and use the loader to push down on the tire, works a treat done it a few times myself

Sledge hammer and cold chisel works as well.
Do you have access to a crow bar as well?
A bottle jack can help depending on what you mean when you say "farm". Is it bush as in, absolutely nothing but your ute, trees and rocks?
Or is there a shed there with some gear in it?
If you have access to a jack, and can be extremely careful, put the jack upside down and wedge it under something that will take the load of it, use that to break the bead. It's a quick fix, but so dangerous.
I can't stress how careful you have to be with it because you could injure yourself badly if you aren't. 3 or 4 tonnes of force letting go is enough to split your head in half.
